Planning to head to the range tomorrow.
Enjoyed getting her all cleaned and slicked up last night.

Is there a consensus on what the trigger pull measures out on these guns? It seems pretty light, but I don't have a way to check.

You have to call them. They don't post the guns for sale on their website, but you can download a catalog (a pretty big .pdf file) that lists everything the have. You will want to call anyway because the prices in the catalog may not be the most current especially if they are running a special sale.

Mine is supposed to be here today..........
Today or tomorrow for me.... I wish CDNN would email tracking numbers as a 'service' ....

That will be my next purchase next month.... I just don't see the point of those stock grips. Even cheesy smooth plastic would be better.

You can call the toll free number, ask for shipping and they'll give you a tracking number. I knew when mine arrived within 25 minutes and was able to arrange to pick it up during my lunch break!

Picked mine up today. after comparing it to a new vaquero and to an older single six, it seems to me like this gun has the smoothed-up lockwork of the new vaquero. nice light hammer pull, and really nice trigger for a ruger (better than the other 3 ruger 6-shooters i have owned, lets put it that way). almost exactly like the new vaquero, in fact

not bad at all for less than $400 after all shipping and transfer fees were done with!

Picked mine up this afternoon. I did a quick look over and really see no difference between this one and the other three New Models I have purchased over the last month or so as far as fit and finish. It does have a decent trigger, but no better than the new last two new Blackhawks.

I did however, find a lot of metal shavings on the back side of the cylinder when I took it out............I guess I"ll see if there is any damage internally in the morning..........

I got the .357 50th yesterday. Nice looking gun. I'm glad the factory made the gold lettering small. Gold & guns doesn't work for me. I gave it a thorough cleaning & promptly lost the ejector rod housing screw down the black hole. I've got another one coming along with a couple of spares from Brownells. I can't shoot it anyway....no ammo to be found locally. Widener's has .357 aluminum case Blazer for $18 plus shipping in case anyone's interested. If the gun shoots as good as it looks I'll be a happy camper.

Hi,

You can easily get rid of the gold with a sharpened toothpick and some bore cleaner or rubbing alcohol on it... Congrats!!

Hi,

Here is a picture of my 50th:

I polished the side of the trigger so it matches the polished hammer sides although this picture was taken before that:

Thanks,

Alan

Looks great! I like the grips too :) .

I just put another 100 rounds down range tonight with mine. Fun gun to shoot! My wife will like it ;) . Also shot about 100 .45 Colt rounds too though my Vaquero. You just can't have a shooting session without shooting some .45....

Oh, yes, now that it's zero'ed for the 125g JHP (shot about 300 rounds through it), I am going to start shooting 125g lead SWCs down range :roll: . The wife likes a bit lighter load. See how well it shoots them next!
