I bought a short barreled Vaquero in .44 Mag last year and have settled on 10 gr of Herco under a 200 gr XTP. More than a Special load, and not quite a Magnum. I have made the front sight fit that load, so I can shoot with confidence.

It shoots 158s to the sights but lighter bullet loads don't. I dealt with this by carrying 158s. I just bought a 2 1/4" SP101 in 9mm. Haven't shot it yet but I'm really hoping 124 grain HST's will shoot to the sights. If not I'll have to experiment with 115s or 147s depending on the results.
