The only time I would feel outgunned with a SA revolver is should there be a need to reload. (Also, if I was carrying in it for protection against large animals that may attack.) I can shoot my New Vaquero pretty close to the same speed as my other revolvers, if I use a two handed grips and cock it with my support hand thumb. I would still pick a DA for self defense given the choice though.

The Ruger Super Blackhawk, 4 5/8", .44 Mag, Stainless Steel. While I respect .45 Colt, I prefer .44 Mag. In addition, I have never handled a Uberti that didn't break. (Seriously! I know I'm the exception, but I broke 3 of them, just by handling them in gun stores. Even the salesmen were perplexed, since they were watching me... and I did nothing wrong.) The 4 5/8" barrel makes carrying it easier (if desired).

If you get into a gunfight, not likely, with the average street criminal(s), they are not going to stand and shoot it out with you. Most will run when they see you have a gun, of any type. The rest will run if you shoot at them or especially if you actually shoot one or two of'm.
If you were to get into a gunfight with a Swat Team, Marine Recon, Army Special Forces or some other highly trained unit, they'd kill you. I've never fired over 4 shots in a gunfight. 6 gunfights. 34 years as a Cop. |

If I had to, I'd feel fairly safe with either my Old Model Vaquero or my Colt SAA. Both in .45 Colt.
