Greetings,
I am in the market for a new, low cost revolver for holster carry during hiking/camping trips in the lower 48 Rockies. I like the full size Ruger single action set-up, and currently own a .45 Colt Vaquero w/ a 7.5" barrel. The problems with this gun for this purpose is that the barrel is too long, and the fixed sights don't do well with non-cowboy loads.
The choices are as follows:
.45 Colt Blackhawk- 4 5/8" or 5 1/2" Barrel, Blued or Stainless Finish
.44 Mag Super Blackhawk- 4 5/8" or 5 1/2" Barrel, Blued or Stainless Finish
Which one would you choose and why?
Question- Have the Blackhawks been fitted with the key locking safety behind the grip panel, or is that just on the new "small" frame Vaqueros and XP-3 gripped guns?
Thanks for your input.
