The Smith & Wesson products are strong and well designed, but not 
indestructible.  If you compare a S&W .44mag with a Redhawk .44mag you 
can see a big difference- the S&W is an elegant design, the Redhawk is 
big and crude by comparison.  However the Redhawk is strong, very 
strong.  You can buy factory ammo from specialty companies loaded for a 
Redhawk that is not advised to be used in the S&W.  I did witness a S&W 
blow up.  The person loading the ammo had used the wrong powder by accident.
