.357, or ,45?

[fourfingersofdeath]

thirty what? Are we talking about one of them new fangled smokyliss riffles or something? Small calibres are ok for belly guns, but you gotta stick it in his ear to be sure of it!  Mick.

I'll jump in.  My Vaqueros are .357.  I don't reload yet.   I'm still getting the guns I need to compete.  I just dumped a .45 auto to get the Vaqueros.  I'm hoping it'll cost less to feed these than the .45 Auto.  I shoot about 3-4 times a week for several hours.  I'll take a little smaller score on the "cool factor" for now and get my shooting a little cheaper.  (And even if it's NOT cheaper... don't burst my bubble.  A man needs his illusions.  It's what keeps us from going off the deep end, some days.  *snicker* )  When I DO hang the Vaqs up for a while in the next year or so...  I hope to go to RUger Old Armys with a .45 conversion cylinder.  But bear with me.  I'm new and poor. 

Further, when I go to ROAs, my wife will probably take over the Rugers.  The girl is sorta shortarmed.  The .357s (loaded with .38s, most likely) will be perfect for her.

I have a New Blackhawk in 45 colt and an extra cylinder in 45 ACP.
It is one of 2 of my non NCOWS legal revolvers.   I keep the 45 colt cylinder in loaded with silvertip hollow points for home defense.   There is nothing quite like 45 caliber in a single action!!!     Safe shooting.  Deadeye.

.45 colt.........cause its cowboy

.44's

Yup!  Either .44-40 or .44 Extra Long Russian (aka .44 Mangle-em)! Unfortunately, Ruger has chambered the New Vaqueros in NEITHER!     If they do, or at least in .44 Special, I will be tempted.  Otherwise, I will stick with my OM Vaqueros in .44 cal.

If they do... I'll order 4, two blue, two stainless.  (Call me indecisive.)

    Less see.............

Sierra Packer has a brace of orriginal flat-tops in 357, there's one 357 OM Vaquero, One 357 3 screw black hawk, and a pair of 44 Mangle-em OM Vaqeros which are mine.  I am in the process of liquidating to get a brace of NM 357 Vaqueros and one more OM 357 .  Primarily to simplify away shoots , besides Kurt N. Kleimer is going to need a pair in the "near" future

.45 colt.........cause its cowboy

yep

[Will Blastem]

I couldn't make up my mind so I got 2 of each. I love my .357/38's...I love my 45LC's ...jes wisht I had 4 hands

[Captain Lee Bishop]

It never occured to get them in any other caliber than .45. I have two SS NVs in that massive caliber. I have a fetish for all things .45 I guess, as I love ACP as well, love 1911s, tommy guns, grease guns, you name it.
So when I got into CAS, I knew there was a .38/357 option, but it never crossed my mind to look into it. I have never regretted the decision, especially when I loooked into CAS factory loads for each caliber and found out you really don't save much by going to .38 anyway.
