What about something like this? Redhawk 5.5" in 45 Colt.
Well it's not blued but I could live with it 
(I thought yours had a 4" barrel). Is that a custom job? I didn't think Ruger made a RH in .45Colt with a 5 1/2" barrel. I'll gladly trade ya for this:

It has a nice trigger pull (for a Ruger), "Never been fired only dropped once".

:lol: I love that Redhawk. I reamed the throats, cut the forcing cone, and added some custon grip panels. It's a shooter now!
Ruger did make them in 5.5".

I'm still open to suggestions, it doesn't have to be a Ruger but does have to be stout enough to handle hot loads.

Then it needs to be a Ruger.
I just loaded up 100 250 grain XTPs with 9.5 grains of Unique. Should give me about 1100 fps.

There are some Taurus .45 Colts out there in circulation. I know you prefer one that's blued and there are some in that make although this one is stainless.

If you want to heavily load the .45colt, you could also get a Dan Wasson or a Colt Anaconda, used, if you could find one. Ruger used to make blued Redhawks with 5 1/2 or 7 1/2 barrels in .45colt. They are a lot harder to find than the .44mag versions.
If you don't want to load any heavier than moderate loads, the S&W Mountain gun is a sweet revolver, but is in stainless.
If I find one at a time that I am flush with cash, I want one just like bountyhunter's. That gun with some fancy wood stocks would be my idea of perfect. It is good looking with just the right balance of portability and long enough sight radius. Plus, it can take loads hotter than just about any other gun except custom five shot Ruger sa's.

The way S&W's been going, I doubt they'll support "old" models as well as Ruger will...my revolver purchases will be Ruger, if possible...Speed Six 2 3/4", 4" Redhawk, Bisley Vaquero 4 5/8"....only Smith big cal. I'd buy would be the 696 or another .44 Spl or .45 ACP-their strength just ain't up to Ruger if you load warmly....
