.
Now remember there is a new adhoc rule that says ya gotta have a revolver in a caliber matching your Henry. I'm thinking a Uberti .45 Colt would pair up real nice with that Henry .45. I'm sure all the other Henry/Uberti folks here agree ;) ........ Yes?

Nope. Pink is "in" again, whether new or in a "recycling phase." There is no right or wrong.

You could just REALLY give in and maybe go buy yourself a Uberti revolver and see how much fun it is and how well it pairs with your Henry 357(s).

Definitely. I guess the closest Ruger comes to what Uberti does is the Vaquero line? Might still be apples/oranges, as I'm not that familiar with the SAA Rugers.
To my eye, the Ubertis are a bit more true to the "replica" idea, but to some that might be a negative.
They're all good!

As far as single action revolvers, you can't beat Ruger for strength and reliability. I've had a 45C Ruger Blackhawk (4 5/8") with the 45ACP cyl since the mid 70's. I used to shoot Handgun Silhouette with a Ruger Super Blackhawk (44Mag) 7 1/2" bbl in 80's. Still have both of them...if you are looking for a 45C revolver, go with the Ruger vice Uberti. You won't be sorry. BobG in VA

IIRC, the early Ruger Vaquero 45C was rated for Ruger 45 Colt +p (30K psi) loads. The newer examples are not (but they have more origional Vaquero style points :? ). So 14K psi is the limit. If the cylinder is not as big/thick as the BlackHawk, keep the pressure on the low side.

I have one Uberti 12 shot 22 and the rest of my matching pairs are with Rugers. 3 of those pairs are the convertibles 357/9mm 45colt/45acp 22/22mag. I have a 44 mag Ruger that has no mate. But Ive just never had a desire for the 44 mag in a levergun. I do like the Ubertis because they do a great job with the CCH. Might need one someday in a 357 to go with my recently acquired 357 CCH carbine.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
