For one thing, you really shouldn’t shoot other people’s reloads, why would you use a super Redhawk for self defense, shortest barrel on those is 7 1/2”, that’s kind of over kill

Overpenetration? Maybe. Depends on what they hit, and the quality of the CHP.

Thats a good sized handgun but it does , or has, been offered in various lengths which are not bad for HD. There was/is a 5 inch version and the 2.5 in Alaskan model.
When you say solid copper do you mean a real solid, not hollow point? If so, in my opinion having shot. 44 magnums for 30 odd years, you might be better served with a nice 44 special hydroshock or Gold Dot for defensive use on a human being. Save the solids for big dangerous game hunting. Used a handgun for hunting for the past 40 years , now back in .357 magnum due to arthritis. Just an opinion.
But if you are talking like Barnes copper hollow points those are not bad bullets. Have seen some taken out of deer and other game and they look pretty impressive.

Is rule 4 the one that says: a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law?

I don't know. I have revolvers bigger than 7.5" that I would and have used in a SD role.
It's especially helpful if there's a burglar hiding behind the refrigerator in your next door neighbor's house.
