I have a Ruger Vaquero in 44 Magnum. It is a heavy revolver being approximately 10% larger that a Colt SAA. The New Vaquero is closer to the size of the Colt SAA and should be about the same weight. Since you are familiar with the Ruger line I would go for the Ruger New Vaquero. Don't get me wrong I love my 44 Mag Vaquero but you asked about a 357 Mag single action.
