I was thinking of getting the new stainless 5.5 inch barrel model in 45LC (fixed sight one)
Will these digest heavy loads like the regular bisley.
Ive heard they have a smaller frame and hot loads shouldnt be used?
Any thoughts

The New Vaqueros, whether with a Bisley gripframe or not, are smaller than the Vaquero, SBH, and Blackhawks other than the .357 Anniversary Models. They should use standard .45 Colt loads rather than the "Ruger Only " loads shown in some loading manuals.

as 500we said, NO, if you get one use the loads designed for the original colts unless you want a busted frame or worse
