Just what most others are sayin'. RUGERS! ;D  My main guns are Vaquero 44-40's. Had Gary Reeder reshape the grip frame to what he calls the " Gunfighter " grip. Really fits nice in my hand. I also had a pair of RV in 45 colt done the same way, but don't shoot them much. Been shooting my 44's since 95 and have had approx. 15,000 rds through each and have never had a problem.  :D

I tried ruger V's but I have short fingers and they just did not fit my hands. So I found me some Colt clones that fit real nice!

I like the larger grip of the older  Ruger Vaquero's,  fits just right

Uberti-made EMF New Dakota, 7 1/2" barrel in .45 Colt. Repaced the black chrome plated-brass trigger guard and backstrap with a steel set from a Model P. The thing just doesn't miss.

I’ve tried S&W Schofields and Uberti Colt clones. 

But the ones that I shoot most are Rugers.

My favorites?  The S&W for cool factor.

But, I can trust the Rugers

My favorites are my New Model Army Remingtons with their R&D conversion cylinders.  I like them 'cause they feel good in my hands, are reliable and point of aim and point of impact are the same.  And they are so much fun with full cases of blackpowder.  I shoot more accurately with these than any other revolvers I have.  So they have become my main match pistols.

2nd Gen Colt 51 Navies.  they look good - they feel good in the hand - they shoot good - they're historically accurate - and they're as reliable as anything else I've used.   :) :) :) :) :)

Colt clone.  Feels great in my hand.  5 1/2" in 45 LC.  Gripmaker "ivory" grips.  Style points galore!  What Matt & Paladin used is good enough for me! :o ;D ;D

Well, I guess if I had to choose a favorite... it would be my Ruger Vaquero Birdshead in .45LC with the 4 5/8" barrel.  It just feels good in my hand & is a great shooter.  My second choice would be my Colt Clone by EMF in .45LC with the 5 1/2 barrel.  This one looks great & is a real nice shooter as well.

Howdy,
           I've got two Rugers and a Uberti C&B Navy. I like the Rugers 'cause I can beat the snot outta' them and they just keep running. Not @ a bad price as well.

For the match 2 Uberti blackpowder frame SAA's with 7,5" barrels and Grimaker's ivory grips, shooting .44 Colt ammo, because they are reliable, feel good and the price is right. For fun shooting Uberti/Colt OT's in all kind of configurations like RM 51 in .38 Spec + RM 60 in .44 Colt, RII in .44 Colt, OT in .44 Colt.

My favorites are '58 Remys with 8" barrels, bought them because I always liked the look of the piece and to me it spells Cowboy as much as a Model 60 Army Colt.   I wouldn't trade for even the best single action pistol on the market.

Well guys, mine is '72 OT Army grip in .44special. Why? Its the only one I have now. Im new to cowboy shooting. Been a flintlock shooter forever, now im moving up 100 years. BTW, Chuck Burrows is making me some of his awesome riggin's for my OT.
I will most likely be looking at a SAA in the future. My money says Cimmerion, though I like the Colts and USAF's.
I like Rugers, have had Blackhawks before in my life. Have never heafted a Ver.  The only thing, and this is fixable, Rugers seem to have 'grity' actions. But, id like to live long 'nuff to wear a Ruger out.
Wish me will enjoyin' my now OT Army .44Sp. I think iv found a hobby I can LOVE !

A pair of Pietta 1863's with Kirst conversion cylinder's. I like the way they fit my hand and the easy loading and unloading - also they are accurate and reliable ,plus they are period correct.

Howdy from San Diego

Been a Colt SAA collector for over 40 years, to date I own 66  first generation SAA, 26 autoloadres most 1911, for CAS I shoot a pair Colt second generation SAA NP in 45LC
My daughter "Lady Cin" shoots a pair of third generation blue SAA in 44-40.

You may say that I prefer the Colt SAA over all others :)

Safe shoting and happy trails :)
