As usual PatMcD is correct. I have 2 629's a 4" and 6" and they are fine guns but the Redhawk is built tougher. It weighs more which is good (recoil reduction) and bad (not going to CC it anyway) but has 3 points of lock up allowing you to shoot blazing hot rounds. Reloading is the best way to enjoy a 44 mag with loading comfortable range rounds to crazy 270 gn loads for pig hunting (with a buddy backing you up with a shotgun!)
Oh and be careful when you are learing to shoot the thing. My 4" with full loads wants to tatoo your forhead with the S&W hammer and YouTube is full of videos where people "double fire". The first round forces the gun up in the air and the natural reaction is to accidenly pull the trigger again. I only let people shoot 1 round at a time to start.
Have fun, and this is one of the rare times where I'll say RELOAD your own ammo for it.
Watch this first before firing, this man knows what he is talking about

Yup6" Anaconda.
'Nuf said.
I love the Anaconda and the Python but wish the cylinder release was designed like the S&W. Pushing it towards the cylinder just seems weird to me.
It’s really the only gun I want but don’t have.I’d love an original Colt Anaconda.
No way I would pistol whip somebody with my 29!but after pistol-whipping someone who deserves it, you'll find blood and little bits of face can be cleaned out much easier with stainless.
It’s on my list as well.It’s really the only gun I want but don’t have.
