I hate him!

My son just told me he brought home a new Vaquero in SS and .44 mag. Since he lives elsewhere I havent seen it. He will be visiting in a couple weeks and we will be breaking it in then.

I hate him!

That gives you time to outdo him . Buy a pair of them!

That takes $$$ and he makes lots more than me!

Tell him; "Thanks for an early Christmas (or birthday) present" & refuse to return it to him!

Try to get a little extra practice in and show him the old man can hold his own and show him how it's done. 8)

Does he read the forum? Make nice, he is your son. 8)

He already gave me his Taurus PT145 and then took it and gave me his Citadel 1911.
He knows I can shoot, we shoot at his house whenever I am there.
He is preparing to build a 250 yd range at his house.....
And the granddaughter has a pretty good eye, too!

Sons that make more money than dad should give dad guns.

Congrats to him.

I have a vaquero in 45 lc with a 7 1/2" barrel in polished stainless. It's nib never shot yet. Do they off a vaquero in 44 mag 7 1/2" in polished stainless?

Good question. I dont see his model on the Ruger website let alone a Vaquero w/7-1/2 in barrel.

This is the best idea I've heard/read yet. Make sure he gets it fitted with a nice set of stocks first....

Probably a large frame discontinued years ago.

Well, I found out my son's Vaquero is a Talo Distributors special model.
Eclipse day we were at a friend's house and ran a few rounds through it.
VERY sweet shooter. Nice, crisp trigger and comfortable to hold and shoot. And very accurate. We killed a couple atv wheels at about 10-15 yds. If you ever thought you wouldnt like cowboy style guns shoot a Vaquero. It sold me. I always thought the shape of grip wouldnt work but I was so wrong. I want one.

Is it one of those Birdshead grip .44s with the short barrel?

No Sir. Black textured standard shape is what I guess you would call it. 5-1/2" barrel.
