Ruger Vaquero, 5.5" bbl.
Ruger
High polish stainless steel
Thanks guys. Are those good guns?
I prefer the old model. But that's just me. I'd handle both before I made a decision.
Looks like a Ruger to me. Well I had the Rugers to start with, wasn't ever happy till I got a Colt. I love the 4 clicks plus the way it handles. The Ruger is way stronger than the Colt design. The Italian copies are also a great pistol.
The ruger is a great pistol. It's their take on the classic 1873 single action army. It's just a bit bigger physically, and has a bit different action but still has the great looks of the SAA. kind of a "modern" SAA.
Handle one and see if you like the feel of it, and their finishes and such.
Personally I prefer the colt "clones" to the Ruger (and I'm a big Ruger fan) but it's just because there are more options for variety with all the others. Uberti, Pietta, EMF, Taylor's, Cimarron, etc all make colt clones. Or you can find an actual Colt but they can get $$$.
