[QUOTE="rsc, post: 2235852, member: 25938"] If carrying a SA, I feel a transfer bar safety is the best choice. It lets you carry a full cylinder safely. Another point is that Blackhawk cylinders do not align with the loading gate for fastest reloads but they do on a Vaquero. Aside from a slower reload (but the ability to easily do a partial reload without taking the gun out of the fight), I find the longer overall size a challenge to conceal, something like a birds head grip and the 3.5"-4.xx" barrel would be a better size along with a Bisley hammer. I would guess that something like 90% of the people carrying a pistol do not carry a spare magazine. If I were going somewhere I anticipated needing more rounds then I wouldnt take a SA or a J-frame or a 7-shot .380, it would be something with a higher capacity. But truthfully, when I carried a Baretta 92 at work I still felt like I needed more ammo but with a 1911 and a spare magazine I dont anymore. I think when you have less ammo available you become more judicious using it. [/QUOTE]
