I have two, the Taurus Gaucho and an old Model Ruger Vaquero.
The Gaucho has the traditional 4 click cocking action, feels good in the hand, points naturally. Depending on load, it also shoots quite a bit above point of aim. I shoot the lightest cast bullet I can find. After about 1000 rounds, the pin that holds the cylinder in place wants to back out on its own.

The Vaquero (its an old model) doesn't feel as good in my hand as the Gaucho, but its rugged, shoots close to point of aim no matter what bullet I load, and is obviously of more rugged construction.

Both are a blast to shoot. You can't go wrong with a .45 single action.
