Hog country? Glock 20 please.

What manner of heresy is this?

Way less heretical than pairing a western classic like a lever gun with a double action revolver.

I thought about that for about a minute once. I came to the conclusion that I didn't want to carry a 6-shooter, hammer down on an empty chamber .... so REALLY just a 5-shooter.

Au contraire mon ami! The transfer bar on a Vaquero means you can safely carry with all six.

Also, if a pistol is the weapon you use to fight your way back to the long gun you never should have put down, why handicap yourself by having to manually cock it for every shot? Single actions are cool, but if I'm carrying a revolver and get into a gunfight, I'd rather have a double action.

Well if we were wanting the most effective fighting weapons, it'd be an AR or AK paired with a much higher capacity semi-auto pistol. But this is a just because gun anyway per the OP so my answer stands.

A lever action requires a single action revolver. ;)

A 5.5" Ruger Vaquero would fit the bill nicely.
