And IMhO you did good...I mean a Ruger single action .45 Colt? What's not to like?
I think the only thing you could have done better would have been to buy the two Vaquero pistols that originally caught your eye and give them a good home too. I just have an irrational urge to buy single action revolvers in pairs. But I realize you have to stop somewhere.
And compliments to your wife!
