They are pretty, and have a nice smooth action right out of the box, but not sure they are good choice for someone planning to practice a lot.

I have a set in 357/38  4 3/4 that I have shot around 2-3 k through each over the last 9 months.  I had only minor issues, soft screws loosen as you shoot.  The last week or two I've been doing a little dry firing with snap caps in.  One of the guns has had the pin that holds the firing pin in fall out, and the inside screw that holds the loading gate came unscrewed.

Given that I have only did a small amount of practice, I am somewhat regretting not going with the less authentic but reliable new vvaqueros.

Just my two cents,
