    What are single action 44 mag options?

    I just purchased a lever gun in 44 magnum. This is the first gun that I will have in the caliber, and I am now looking for a single action in 44 magnum to complement it. I am interested in something with a barrel between 6 to 8 inches, but really toward the lower end of that range.

    What I have found is the Ruger Super Blackhawk, which by all counts is very fine, and probably the best option out there for me. I really prefer the looks of the Vaquero however, but it appears that it is not longer being offered in 44 magnum.

    The Uberti Cattlemen looks pretty good too.

    My question is what other single action revolvers should I be looking at considering that I like the more traditional lines.

    I do plan to reload for the rifle and handgun.

    If it matters the rifle is the Henry Big Boy.

    THanks for any advice.

    How about a Super Blackhawk with the Bisley grip (like the Vaquero has)?

    I like mine...

      I'm not sure if you are dead set on something brand new, but I have seen a lot of used Vaqueros in .44 mag.

          I sold one here just a few months ago. 5 1/2" Stainless for around $400.

              I have the Ruger Super Blackhawk Anniversary Edition with 8" barrel in .44. I bought it because the gun store owned me $550 and that was all they had I wanted. I was going to sell it for $475 but with the freaking out this country is doing right now I think I will ask $800!

                Can't go wrong with the Super Blackhawk.

                  The Freedom Arms look very nice, but alas they are out of my budget.

                  I saw some Uberti Vaqueros today that were nice, but he wrong caliber.

                  Thanks for the feed back everyone.
