Thinking of getting one to compliment my puma, but it need to be 30,000 cup strong.

oops, meant to type 30,000cup

Even a Ruger Blackhawk isn't that strong, so I'm pretty sure it would splatter a Taurus.

50k cup? You'd better get a 454 Casull, I am not aware of any revolver, custom or otherwise, that is safely rated for 50k in 45 Colt.

23,000 Max for the Gaucho. You want a Ruger.

A Ruger Blackhawk will do fine at 30,000. An OLD model Vaquero will take the same loads if it's the vintage look you want. They're are alot of them on the used market right now. The NEW Vaquero isn't as strong.
