The 44 special Blackhawks are built on the "mid" size frame and as such feel and balance very closely to a Colt.I'm in full agreement that the clones are very serviceable.
For the record I own both a vaquero and a Blackhawk in 44 special along with a 3rd Gen Colt SAA and SAA clones by USFA and Uberti.
My suggestion to the OP would be to get a stainless 44 Blackhawk although a Uberti clone wouldn't be a terrible choice.
Another option I might suggest would be to load the 3 screw 357 with some good heavier Keith SWCs.
