    Default Ruger Vaquero Beauty

    Just got a hold of this little charmer. It's the Ruger Vaqero Deluxe edition. The engraving is laser, not hand, but it still looks decent. Seemed cheaper than getting the plain model and having it engraved.

    Yup it's basically a remake of the Colt Single Action Army, with a few differences. I think the Cowboy Action shooting thing creates a demand for a lot of these. This one is chambered in 45 Colt (aka 45 Long Colt). I just like the mechanics of it, general good looks and kind of a piece of history. Just picked it up so I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.
    You can still get them from Colt but I think it takes a while and not cheap.

    Thanks. This particular deluxe model was only chambered in 45 Colt, but yes several Ruger revolvers, including the Vaqero come in "convertibles" where you'll get two cylinders, one of them in 45 acp.

    And I was like you, where revolvers weren't "tactical", but I'm coming to appreciate them more.

    I got one of those :<0) Plain blue. 44-40, quick draw holster. BOOM !

    That's a cool one you got. 45 is a great round.

    Ooo 44-40, that's a nice one. That's a real round. I think that was an old school one they chambered in the rifles too.
