I stopped at my local gun shop today.he has a ruger birdshead vaquero .45 colt with 3 3/4 inch barrel blued.i'm considering it for a general cary / woods gun. it would be replacing my supper blackhawk .44 7 1/2 barrel. I find the sbh too big it stays home most of the time unless i am after deer.Even when after deer i prefer my contender.

any thaughts?
