I use the hks 25 for my alaskan 454, works great.

I solved that with a ruger alaskan 454 :roll:

Just remember, new mod vaqueros are rated for cowboy action loads, not full bore loads as the old model vaqueros are.

I've got a stainless om 5.5" vaquero but as to value, I'm not sure.

Trifle. Bugs me nada. Poetato/potato

Heck, My safari arms matchmaster 1911, my edc, fully loaded weighs 42oz. I found a beautifull leather iwb with metal clip at a gunshow, looks like all my other don hume's iwb. When I do carry the alaskan I load it out with 76gr fragmentation rds in 45 colt, and I keep a couple unshaken 25-5...

I've been a fan of the OM vaquero for ages. I've got 9, six of which are 4.75" bbl & 3 are 5.5" models. 45 colt is versatile from low powered to hot loads, which is why the old model vaquero is my fave as it can handle hot loads where the new model vaquero is rated for cowboy action loads. On...

At vaguntrader.com a gentleman has a pair of blued, 5.5" nm vaqueros posted

What he said lol. On my 4 3/4" freedom 454 I have custom silver black wood grips, its stiff but manageable. On my alaskan 454, I wouldn't even consider wood grips. I've seen on ebay alaskan grips that resemble the wood/rubber combo grips on my gp100, but so far I'm cool. I would like to have...

Water buffalo bone

The only embarrassing or stupid question is the one unasked. I'm a 1911 type, 45 years worth, I know them inside out, and build them while watching tv., AR's however, I know next to nothing. Never be ashamed to ask a question, at one point, everyone here knew nothing about firearms.

I have the Uberi el cheapo hombre, 4 3/4"bbl purchased from basspro on sale for $249+tax. Move forward 2 years... 11,936 factory cowboy loads later, she still purrs like a cat, timing is great, springs will be changed at 15k. I own 17 other 45LC's, 13 ruger sa, 1 colt 2nd gen, 1 5" redhawk...

As RT stated, I too own three, all blued; 4.58" 5.50" 7.50" A trip to a ruger smith made all chambers to speck, and the same. Accuracy with factory LC is phenominal. With the 45acp, I shoot TZZ (israeli) match grade, or RWS match grade ammo and I've been getting 1.075" groups from 25ft at an...

Doooooo theeeee tradeeee

Very nice score, I've been looking for ages for one and at my last gs vist they had an om vaquero 4 3/4" bbl in cch & blue. Used but id have to say no more than about 50rds. I'm still hunting that elusive sts critter though.
