Top of my list. Blue or Stainless. Thinking I will put one together before this fall. Will be 3 3/4" barrel.

No, a birdshead isn't something I'm interested in. I guess with large hands, I don't really like them. Plus I think anything like that with a barrel longer than 3 1/2 inches or so just seems out of proportion....and since longer barrels are just better....well, you get the drift.


Sorry, but you did ask...

Have an original Vaquero stainless birds head with 4 5/8" barrel 357. Bought it for the wife. New Vaquero would be lighter though.

I have one in .45 ACP and it's a nice shooter. It is a bit larger framed than my Uberti Birdshead in .45 Colt.

A glossy stainless 3.5" birdshead .357 New Vaquero would be near the top of my want list.

Me too, I've been on the lookout for one in 45ACP, but it's not at the top of my "gotta have it" list. A Birds head model in .357 might just go to the top of the list. Hope Ruger is listening!

I would not even try for a deal, love the feel of the birdshead, .357 and a 3" barrel would sell like hotcakes I would think.

Especially if they designed it like the 1877 Colt Lightning grip.

If it was on the mid-side frame I would buy one. All I ever see are full size.
