I like the .45LC, no strike that, I love the .45LC. Problem is, the .44 Mag seems to be more accurate and versital. My Trapper in .44 Mag will shoot circles around my Trapper in .45LC. I also dearly love the .44 Mag. Presently I don't own a revolver in .44 Mag for CAS though. The Vaquero's I've looked at are running $535.00 for the Bright Stainless w/gold engraving. They are extermely nice looking for a Nickle freak like myself. Help!!!??!!
Should I bit the bullet and go .44 Mag, which I really like, or go .45LC? Now throw into the fray the .45LC Schofield, and man oh man! Then of course, there are the .38 Special Navy Arms conversions, which would go really well with the Marlin cowboy...?

*Note, mostly toungue in cheek, I have pretty much decided on the .44 Mag.
BUT Man are those conversions nice looking
