The manufacturers ran into that with dilemma when they went to 10mm, it made the grip too long for smaller hands, thus we
now have the 40 S&W, essentially 10mm short!
I have always enjoyed the Buckmark trigger and have heard they are the only manufacturer that stones the triggers.
Went shooting with a friend and swapped my Buckmark with his Ruger semiauto for clip or two, he thought the Buckmark was unsafe for the light trigger, I thought his Ruger was as smooth as a bumper jack and about as heavy!
Ruger New Vaquero in SS is as pretty as they come and at 950 fps for the 45 colt there isn't much you can't do with it, semiautos tend to be pressure sensitive to function correctly whereas revolvers are more flexible in loading, and if we do our part we only need 1 or 2 rounds. Teaching safe shooting is a great way to minister to young people, boys especially, as when a young man wants to learn something his ears open up and he will really pay attention, a great time to add ministry to the lesson, their responsibilities to themselves, to each other, to G-d, etc.
We like to add how their moms and dads are watching what they do and how they do it to see if they are being responsible, and if they see responsibility then they will be allowed to do more activities that require responsibility.
Best wishes
