How do determine one revolver is stronger?

Ruger Redhawks are referred to as one the strongest revolvers made. Did someone somewhere fail test various weapons to determine this or is it sales hype?
Have you guys been involved in this comparison testing?

A good trigger makes it easier to shoot well.
Probably at some point. But it's mostly sales hype based on strength of materials testing. Ruger has testing protocols in place but it costs tens of thousands of dollars to implement the testing for each model. How many competitors are going to invest that amount of money just to test another manufacturers products?
Until you can provide the exact text and resource, I will tell you that this is nothing more than Urban Myth and BS. It's time like this that I wish I could use stronger language to speak out against internet garbage. Common sense alone dictates that this is a stupid statement.
So, find the reference in print, on the web or other source and provide it here. Otherwise, BS.
Years ago, maybe 30 or something close to that we used to put Python barrels on Smith revolvers to make them more accurate. The only difference between the manufacturers barrels was that the Python barrels were 0.001" smaller in diameter. But 'Smithons' were extremely popular while the extra Python barrels were available and reasonably priced.
Best.
Never was a wheel gun man, except when I got to handle and shoot a Korth.
Any one hear how strong they are???
Early days of the Redhawk, it was said its advantage in strength was the larger diameter barrel tenon, not the cylinder.
As one gunzine writer said of barrel life, to get a definitive answer, you would have to ruin multiple guns and he did not have the time, money, or inclination.
