Kind of have my eye on a single action Ruger in .45 Colt/.45 acp. I think if I were to get one it would be the convertible model, with a 5.5” barrel, for versatility. Many people say that a single action, besides being stronger, seems to soak up recoil better than a double action revolver due to the way it rolls in your hand, so I’d like to try one. There are two obvious choices:
Ruger Blackhawk = legendary strength but man, that front sight blade is so ugly. I don’t like ugly guns much.
Ruger Vaquero = traditional good looks ...and traditional fixed top-groove sights.
So how necessary are adjustable sights for a revolver that is chambered for two different cartridges? I’m not looking to set marksmanship records here, just plink and general utility, *maybe* some short range hunting at some point. Some people seem to think it’s foolish not to have them, some say they’re a liability on a “user” gun. Any thoughts as it pertains to these two revolvers?
