Howdy everyone,

Currently I am in the market for a new single action revolver chambered in .357 magnum however I have some issues. I have a Ruger Single Six that fits my hand very well however I had a Ruger Blackhawk (6.5" barrel) that was far too heavy and bulky for my tastes. You see the issue I have is that my hands have long slender Swiss fingers designed for making clocks not shooting big single actions.

Some of my options I was looking at:

Ruger Vaquero
Older Ruger Blackhawks (unicorns in Canada however)
Uberti Cattleman

Anyway does anyone have any thoughts on a single action revolver chambered in .357 magnum that is built on a relevantly small frame?

Adjustable sights would be a bonus but not a deal breaker.

Thanks for the advice.
