well... I have a nice collection of single action revolvers, & add to that collection every year... I don't own an original ( or for that matter, a newer generation ) Colt, but have a pretty good representation otherwise... right now my favorite ( by style points ) are the conversions built on the open top Colt design... but hands down, my favorite to shoot, from the solid feel, reliability, perspectives are my Rugers, & particularly the New Vaquero / Montado platforms... ( of which I have 5... all polished stainless, a custom 45 Colt snubbie Montado, with a birdshead grip, a matched pair of 357 New Vaqueros, & a set of consecutive serialed Montados in 45 Colt

BTW... I'm not a huge rim fire fan, but still had to have a couple Single Sixes... mine are a matched pair of "vintage" polished stainless Single Sixes in 32 Mag

the pair of 45 Colt Montados are my everyday CAS guns, & have had 1000's of rounds through them, & are just starting to get broken in, & seem to shoot better every day I take them out...
