The Blackhawks and old model Vaquero's were built on a very large frame and cylinder to handle off the chart handloads. While they make good hunting guns for the guy who wants the srongest gun they can buy, they never really felt or looked "right" to me.
The new model Vaquero's have been scaled down in size and they look, feel and balance much closer to the traditional Colt SAA's. For normal loads one of those would be my preference.
