Question Ruger Vaquero

Any one here have any experience with this revolver? I was at the gun shop the other day (got out of work a little early), and I thought I would try and find me a bag of #6 shot for reloading.....didn't have any #6 shot, but they did have two Ruger Vaqueros in the case: one in .357 mag and the other in .45 colt.
I asked to look at them and I liked the way they felt in my hand....I grew up in the era of the TV western, and I've never owned a single action "cowboy" gun. I'm leaning towards the .357 mag, as I already reload for this caliber....but I realize that the .45 is more acceptable "cowboy" load.
This gun would be a purely guilty pleasure.....I would probably only punch holes in paper and tin cans with it. I have other guns for hunting, so the lack of adjustable sights doesn't bother me. Also, I have no intention (at least now, anyways) to do any cowboy action shooting. I might use it as a trail gun (to complement my M94 Winchester), but that would be about it as far as field use went.
So how bout it......good gun, or bad?
