The older/original Vaqueros and the Blackhawks will handle hotter loads. The New Vaquero WILL NOT because of the smaller frame and thinner cylinder wall thickness as the posters have stated above. If you still wanted the New Vaqiero, that $450 price sounds about average to me.

This is also why the New Vaquero isn't even made/offered in 44 mag.
