Three questions:
- Is stainless the preferred finish for backpacking/outdoor carry use?
- Is 4.62 the preferred barrel length for backpacking/outdoor carry use?
- I shoot .45 now, with the Vaquero is .357 or .45 preferred?
Lastly, any holster recommendations...

1. SS is a durable and rust resistant..so yes for outdoor carry
2. U have to lug the beotch with you..so yes the shorter B is not only a weight savings but can be pulled from the holster quicker...in an emergency.
3...45 WHAT? LC or ACP....both are heavy cartridges when compared to the 357round ..the choice should be 44 mag or 357 mag...as the utility of the 2 45's is lessor than the 357...Let us just put it this way the 357 was developed for Law enforcement use back in the 1930's...the round can penetrate car bodies...so for whatever you might want a cartridge for the 357 should be adequate..unless you have a pissed off Grizzzz coming after you....than I would be of the mind of throwing either the 44 or anyother pistola cartridge gun at the Grizz and start running for my life...if that is the case only a 375 HH would make me stand and ask the Grizz if he feels lucky today....SO 357 is the answer.to the question.
OHH BTW with that Grizz a 416 Rigby would make me feel even better....
