Re: Ruger BlackHawk VS Ruger Vaquero pistols
I like them both-I started shooting a New Vaquero Birdshead in 45ACP that is a keeper-I just need to make a trip when I have some time to sit and try a couple of bullet weights to zero my front sight-windage is spot on but 2 inches low at 15 yards with 200 grain lead.

Nice collections there Vaquero and Krunchnik. I have all Blackhawks only two in a 5.5 inch barrel. The rest are 4 5/8s I really just like the looks of that short barrel better.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

But those Vaqueros sure are sexy.

That’s funny you should say that. I did my best ever handgun shooting with a .41 mag Blackhawk that a buddies dad owned. I usually shot 1911A1s, but fell in love with SA wheelguns after shooting that .41!

Re: Ruger BlackHawk VS Ruger Vaquero pistols
I like them both having a .45 Colt New Vaquero with 5.5 barrel which shoots just as well as my Blackhawks.

My New Vaquero in 45 ACP is fairly accurate-I just have to shave a little off the top of the sight now and I will be all set

Re: Ruger BlackHawk VS Ruger Vaquero pistols
I also have a Vaquero in 357/38, 5 1/2 Inch, Blued Finish, Wood Grips very similar to fortyshooter's above. I wanted a 45, but choosing the 38 will save me a bunch of money in Ammo (I don't reload at this time). It shoots great other than a little low, which is an easy fix with filing down the sight a little. Very satisfied with it.
I've never had a Blackhawk, but went with the traditional look of the Vaquero when trying to decide between the two.
