i have had a 5.5 inch .44 vaquero for years and its one of my favorites. 2 days ago i bought the stainless 4 5/8 in .45 even though im only set up for .357/.44 at the press now i wanna go down and trade my redhawk for the blue .357 4 5/8 as a range gun since its so cheap to shoot (have about 4 coffee cans of brass)

have the Single Action Bug bad (sabitis) think i may need SAA (single actions annonymous)

Sad news my friend. The malady while it isn't fatal is terminal. It only goes away when you die of old age. So, you might as well enjoy the serious effects of this cruel addiction.

However, you should be forewarned. Most sufferers of S.A.B., also have to endure levergunitis as well. But at least the two are compatable.

traded the redhawk for the .357 and have been grinning all day. the .357 is going to be the practice gun (cheap to shoot) the .45 is the carry gun and the .44 is the bear country gun.

I know how you feel, I have acquired 9 Ruger single actions in both Vaquero and Black Hawk configurations and love them all. They are in order'
Six 357 Vaqueros, two being NM and one a birdshead
Two 41Mag Black Hawks
One 45 Bisley

I did purchase a 6" GP 100 a week or so ago and when I went to the gun store to pick it up the counter man asked me if I was going to have the hammer bobbed, I looked at him and asked, "If I have the hammer bobbed, how will I shoot the dern thing?"

I was later told the difference and welcomed into the new and strange world of Double Action.

Yes I am kidding, I really did know about double actions, (I Think).

I'm poor, but willing to swallow my pride and accept donations to bring my stocks to acceptable levels in everyone elses eyes.

We're enablers, all of us.

The goal is to get all the Old Models gathered up into "the family" so we can swap pictures and occasionally sell each other neat ol' Rugers while keeping track of all of them.

boy your preaching to the chior. but i think everyone around here was thinking the same thing.
my cartridge of choice is the .44 for its versatility. when they DCd the vaquero i grabbed a 5.5 stainless and wanted a 4 to go with it.
anyway i put 600 dollars in a vaquero fund for when another popped up at the store and i still have it. that was what? 2yrs ago.
