***I'm fond of the single actions myself***

Oh man me too. Its almost spiritual

A couple years back I checked out the Colt Single Action Army but $1380.00 was-is waaay out of the budget. And their new Cowboy model is pretty good too and was +/-$680.00 and felt almost like the SSA. The Ruger Vaquero was about $100.00 less and not bad but it's a little thicker in the grips.

There's a few other brands now too, like US Firearms and Cimerron and Beretta makes a single action also. Cowboy action shooting is a fast growing sport.

I have my list for when I hit the lotto :-)

I just bought a Beretta Stampede about a month ago. It's got a great feel, almost colt like. Probably won't shoot it. I have a tendency to make safe queens out of most my single actions. My favorite single actions are a couple of Ruger Blackhawks, one is a 7.5 stainless Blackhawk in 45 Long Colt, i sent back to Ruger to have a 45 ACP cylinder made for it( not available for that particular model). The other is a 7.5 in 30 carbine. This is a very accurate and fast round that handles anything up to coyotes, just hold your ears when it goes off, it's very loud.
