Howdy all
I bought my first Ruger back in 1966, it was a Single Six Convertable, that gun has had thousands of rounds thru it and put lots of meat on the table. I've bought several Rugers since then, I guess, or should I say I know I can depend on them to come thru when needed, I've always had a big love for the Colt 1873 , this gun just fit my hand right , and felt like it was part of my arm, so to speak, back in the day of quick draw , this is what I used the most. When Ruger came out with there Ruger Vaquero, I thought this was a big Plus for Ruger , but I still found the OMV didn't quit feel as good in the hand as my Colts , and then a few years ago, Ruger came out with the New Model Vaquero, and SHA-ZAM, they got it RIGHT, it FEELS like my Colts and I love the new hammer, my thumb picks it up every time or the hammer picks up my thumb , just know I REALLY LIKE IT , They also did a bang up job on fit and finish , I got the stainless steel Vaquero's, and they shine like the nickel, the lock up and timming is right on ,and they point and shoot like the left and right arms of God, an this is right out of the box. The only thing I've done to them is to add Eagle Gunfighter Grips, in the Ultra Ivory. You just Gotta Love These Guns.
I call these Vaquero's my BIONIC Colts, You just can't beat them, here's a picture of them.
