It’s no fun anymore to get stomped with recoil. I was always surprised at the weight difference between a Ruger .45 and say, a .41 mag. The .45 has such big hollow holes! I like the lively feel. Thankfully O’l Bill decided to upsize the Blackhawk for managing the .45 Colt. I find the smaller chassis .44 however a similar delight. Ruger never made one until lately. The “new” Vaquero in .45 Colt was cool (with a hammer change, just for aesthetics). It just seemed off to me.

The lighter .45’s get rough fast as performance is pushed. The bigger chassis guns are designed for heavier duty, SAAMI and lawyers be damned. But it’s true, a lot less folks have troubles going by the book. Fetch the FA83 and let’s see how much trouble we can really conjure!
