RUGER OM VAQUERO .45 PROJECT COMPLETED

Be careful wearing live cartridges in open loops at a BBQ. If spilled, the BBQ sauce might detonate the primers!

Glad to see the billboard was taken off. I have a friend with a similar vaq. but left the warning on. Ruined the looks of what could've been beautiful custom gun.
 
The thought occured to me that that gun ought to be mounted, when you're not wearing it, of course, on a turntable with a spotlight beamed on it.

I'm not into those kinds of guns, but I sure can admire them!

Very pretty and not demeaning your pretty 45, it reminds me of a cap gun rig I had when I was about 6yrs old

LOL-Not demeaning at all.....Actually that is exactly the way
I wanted the design.....Very Roy Rogers so to speak. Also reminds
me of the toy six shooters I loved when I was a kid, but wanted
a real one that shoots-lol.....Thanx :)

I could never shoot a gun like that. Cleaning it would be a real PITA. Looks good. The Lone Ranger Rides again!

Hey Gramps-Well being a grandpa like myself didn't want to
get too old and regret never shooting it. Never heard anyone
on their death bed saying they wish they didn't shoot their
safe queens-lol.

Been doing fast draws with it of late and some target shooting
and general practice. Also CCW the gun in the colder months
in a Sourdough Pancake Holster that I had made by Rob. Keep
it loaded for home SD with some pretty little Barnes Vor-Tx
.45 Colt 200's and it's hung on my bedpost every night :)
Just like AMX says.....I never leave home without it !

Ok, you switched belts on us. That is a real BBQ gun, but it has one flaw. In the words of Gen. George Patton, pearl grips are only for New Orleans pimps. Go for some nice synthetic ivory or holly. jack

Thanx Major-Actually have a Syn-Ivory set already made for it as well.
But, the way I figure on the pearls is, good enough for Tom Horn and
Wesley Harden.....Good enough for me-lol.....Pimp out those BBQ's :)

ps.....and keep them from going to safe queen jail-shoot 'em !
 
Contrary to General Patton's remarks, there were a lot of "men with the bark on" on both sides of the law that carried a SAA that was pretty similar to your RUGER....with pearl grips. Myself, I'd want a similar set up to yours in 44 magnum with real ivory or black water buffalo horn grips....pretty much what I have now WITHOUT the engraving
 
I understand the history of pearl and you folks are correct. My experience with real pearl (mother of) on knife handles is that it is exceptionally brittle. I have had a couple of "gentleman's" pocket knives that I have dropped on a hard surface and the scales shattered. As pretty and translucent as they are, no more. Bone and ivory fares better, but can be broken. Most of the real pearl grips are too thin, but despite my comment, they are attractive. jack
