I' ve got a couple vaquero' s, a couple in .44mag, a couple in .32H&R, one in .357mag, I' ve used the .32 and the .357 extensively for coyotes, and plan on taking one of the .44mags this year on whitetails (always previously used a superblackhawk). I had a few S&W' s and a colt or two before I bought my first vaq, and I don' t know that I' ll ever go back for anything short of collectors pieces or somthing ruger doesn' t make (i.e. my MR BFR .45-70).
