4 5/8 stainless ruger vaquero in .357 is the most likely candidate.

A super Blackhawk 5.5" is close 2nd though. I have a horrible itch for a .44

An 'old' SS Vaquero or Blackhawk in .357 is a heavy gun. Just something to consider.

Have you looked at one of the mid-frame Blackhawks in .44 Special? It is worth handling one before you make your final choice. Nice big bore that feels lively in the hand.

Scratched my itch today... but mine was for a cowboy .45 (sorry about my phone pic)


5 and a half Vaquero... now must resist the urge to toss a nickle, shoot and twirl.

I cocked the hammer to show what a one pound trigger on a pistol looks like for those who haven't seen one... I love the sound a pulled hammer makes.
