My Vaquero Birdshead

[Neon Horse]

Here is a fun shooter. It's a Ruger Vaquero birdshead in 45acp. I like it's balance and shooting.



What revolvers do you enjoy?

Looks good !!

I'm also a fan of the two I have, a 5106 Vaquero in 357/38 and my Heritage Rough Rider in 22LR.

Both guns are a lot fun to shoot, lol.

I'd like to have one myself. Love the Rugers, got a few. Just can't post pics from the phone.

I'd like for Ruger to make this same gun in 357. Why not? They did come out with similar setup on the old Vaquero frame in 44 mag. Pretty cool.

I like these stainless concoctions.

I wanted a regular Vaquero in 45ACP as well, but that wasn't available either, lol.

What I really want was one in 45LC, but the Ammo costs were way outside of my pocket. Then when I realized the 45ACP (approx. half the Ammo cost) was not available, I went with the 357/38. Although I only shoot 38's with it, it brought my Ammo expensive down to about 1/3 of the cost of 45LC.

Now I know some will say to Reload, lol. Maybe someday, but right now I don't have the space or time and not really interested in investing in the cost of it as well, again at this time.

That said, I am totally satisfied shooting the 38 Specials and real glad with the decision to switch. (I'm saving the Brass too, lol)

I hear ya on cost. I've been reloading the past year or so, but I've steered away from certain calibers because of cost. I reload for the 45, but now I need more projectiles!

38 is certainly cheaper comparatively. I reload that and enjoy it even more now! 357 also.

I do like the Vaquero line.

A birdshead grip is my favorite for a SA.

My two Rough Rider .22's for hiking and plinking. Puts me back in the old west, especially when I wear my Stetson.

For self defense I enjoy this old, but reliable .38 special.

Does anyone make a birsdhead DA?
