CasCity Virgin SA Revolver Question

Ok folks I'm as new as it gets when it comes to single action cowboy guns.  I've done some digging but really need some "expert" help.  I started shooting at the young age of 54 and immediately bought a Dillon 550 reloader because guns are cheap but ammo is expensive!  My habit started with a Sig P226 Dark Elite but quickly went to a Colt King Cobra.  Then a week ago I picked up a Winchester Centennial 66 model 94 so I got a Lyman #2 peep site.... AWESOME Weapon!  Now an acquaintance just gave me 1600 45LC cases so I picked up a set of dies to reload them.  My problem is every time I come across a 45 LC revolver to purchase I haven't got a clue if it is a POS or a quality handgun.  I'm retiring in one week and I dont want my wife to use this against me so I'm in need of some quality advice...  In 45LC what would be a quality "starter" piece where I wont want to replace it after my 1st month?

Classic,

I have had excellent luck with EMF's Great Western II, I did change mine to the Alcamesta, which is another good pistol.

You can never go wrong with a ruger. 
I also like the pietta clones

Thanks for the feedback!  Cabella's has a Pietta on sale right now so I'll go check it out.  Never know, I just might have to pick me up a little retirement gift

The best bet is hold and even shoot as many as possible to see what feels good in your hand. U can check my website and see many of my gunz and even most of what Old Top shoots:
