I like the Ruger Super Blackhawk. It's the only revolver I use for custom builds. It's a frame that's as tough as a tank. I also have the Single Six, and I think the training / practice transfers back and forth very well. The triggers are both very good, and this, in my opinion, is the key. The trigger control (Muscle memory) transfers to the large caliber revolver just fine. The Ruger Single Six IS a quality revolver. You'll enjoy it for small game hunting as well!
