And my next step is to glance inside, then set a bullet on top and seat. On to next case...

My estimation as well.

I have a Pancake already for the .44 Special Bulldog that I have. Like it, so getting one for the short barrelled GP-100. A gun isn't very useful if you don't have a holster to carry it in!

I just put 'real' compact grips on my Talo GP100. Badger Boot Grips. A little handier for concealed carry if I want to go that route. No rubber on my guns. Got a Simply Rugged Pancake holster on the way.

Just one blued .44 Special New Vaquero would do me :) . And I wouldn't compromise with a 4 5/8" barrel... blued (or case colored) 5 1/2" or bust. No Stainless. That's how I keep my collection from expanding to much ;) . Ha! That said, I do have a .44 Special Sheriff as I thought I might...

Easy enough to test over a chronograph. Most powders I tested didn't seem to have that problem... but there were a few I recall. And the velocities I was looking for were 850-1100, so not 'light' loads.

I am sure. That's why you use a powder that uses up more volume in the case if you can. For example. 8.5gr of Unique fills the case more than adequately for a .44 Special load in .44 Mag. Same with Trail Boss for really 'light' loads. Simple....

Why??? The .44 Mag case can handle loads from -600fps to +1300fps loads. My philosophy to to only use the cartridge that the gun was designed for, but load what I want to shoot. Not rocket science here :) .

I use clear plastic tubing like for fish tank air delivery. A foot of that will last awhile. Easy cut to length. Got that at ACE too.

As for me, as far as looks, nothing beats the look of a Single Action Sixgun. All else pales in comparison. :) . Glad we have choices ;) .

'If' they ever come out with 5 1/2" .44 Special New Vaquero (blued or case colored), I'd order one up on the spot. Really the last one that I am interested in anymore when it comes to center fires.

Tis why we buy guns... to shoot 'em :D. Personally I wouldn't buy at that price, but that's just me. Also, it is a 'large' frame revolver which doesn't appeal to me for .45 Colt. And it isn't blued. But it does have the right barrel length! My case colored large frame Vaquero had really...

+1 . Had to do that on one of mine to get a 'good' fit. Also, once I ordered slightly 'over size' and then used some elbow grease (sanding) to make a perfect fit the way a set of grips should.

Buy a SBH for .44 Mag. If you still want a .44 in the SAA platform, buy one that shoots .44 Special :) . Simple :) . That's how I approach the question... And they've done the proof testing as well...
