Ruger Montado
Ruger Montado in .45 Long Colt. Ain't that just gorgeous? I really need to pick up another single action revolver - I'm thinking something in the .357 Magnum variety, of course, to compliment the rest of my .357s. Add in a Winchester 94 in .357 Magnum and a Coonan, and I'd have all the .357 Magnum goodness a gunnie could want...
Oh, except a Python. And a Registered Magnum. And a...
That is all.

I've been tempted to pick up a Montado myself to serve as a CCW piece, even though it goes against conventional wisdom to do so. Still, the thought of being able to say things like I'm yer huckleberry and Say when! and even Fill yer hand, you sonovabitch! Here I come! is pretty tempting.
Speaking of Pythons, a new shop opened up in Hudson, MA right down the street from you. It's called Undercover Arms and its a husband and wife outfit, located on South Street. (Near the Horse Shot pub, 80+ beers on tap!) They are just starting out but have a surprising selection of pythons, which are thankfully protected under glass, protecting them from my drool.
Check them out, super friendly and willing to order any kind of specialty ammo you want.
I've got a Blackhawk in .45, one of my favorite guns.
You need another one so you can shoot gunfighter style.
I have a 94 AE in .357mag, I love it.
It's nail-drivingly accurate out to 100 yards with little or no "kick".
I got a GP100 with it.
I went .45LC in my cowboy action guns, an Uberti Top Break and Uberti Lightning, nice but they don't like magtech, they only like Hornady ammo so they don't get out too often.
I used to have a 94AE/New Model Blackhawk in .45lc but I had to sell them. That was one beautiful pistol. The action was beautiful.
Since I love rifle/pistol combos, I also have a New Model Blackhawk in .30 carbine to go with my M-1 carbine.
That's one cool pistol, it jets flame from every opening when you fire it. My range is kind of dimly lit so it makes a great show.
The problem with that one is that it expands the cartridges so they're extra hard to get out of the cylinder after firing.
Don't forget the .357 Hogleg.
What's a "Montado"?? Sounds like Ricardo Montalban's car?
I thought all Rugers were Super-Model Red-Ruger New Medallion Hawkblacks?
Gotta love the .45LC. That's my Ruger Vaquero and Winchester '94 pairing.
I simply have no need for a single-action revolver in hand-cannon caliber...
...as long as you don't count the Gollum-esque "We NEEDSS it, Precious" kind of feeling I get every time I see one. Rugers, Berettas, and 'specially the Cimmarron Arms versions (built right down the road from me in Fredricksburg, TX), you name it. I just gotta get one!

@Dirtcrashr: The pistol shown is actually a Ruger Vaquero Montado, a "distributor exclusive" model sold by Davidson's. It's used by cowboy action shooters in horse-mounted shooting stages, if I recall correctly.
I've finally acquired my first and (probably last) Python this week. Reading these comments made me think about an auction I saw on GunBroker last week. Someone was selling a used, cowboy style, gun belt that holsters for two 4" Pythons. If I didn't have to spend so much on the gun I'd be tempted to buy that. It was cool... just down right cool....
You need a 627 to call any .357 collection complete, dude. Because something worth shooting is worth shooting 8 times. With a .357 magnum.
I just got a .45 NMV Montado. Handsome! Accurate! Yummy! As I understand it, it's 'simply' a NMV with a SBH hammer, to allow more certain one-handed handling for the mounted cowboys.
