Kinda what I am thinking - then I take my Winchester 100 year commemorative out shooting....

I like it but if I bought it it would get used.

Very nice. Those are sharp-looking grips, too.

Unless you've had a heavier revolver before like this one (and already know), I'd suggest a light glove on your gun hand. The ivory-style grips really tend toward "slippery." One of my revolvers has those nice-looking grips. But I about always wear a glove when shooting since the loaded weight is plus 2-1/2 lbs.

Enjoy. You have the "star" photo in this thread!

That is one fine single action Ruger. I have some real single action beauties, too, but they got shot. That makes them even more beautiful for me.

Very sharp looking Ruger and at a decent price I think.

Sure is pretty with that ivory and 24ct gold on black! Though I'd have it in a display case and rarely shoot it.

Very nice, and just a touch which really makes it look nice and not over the top.

2nd comment, with focus on overall appearance of your Limited Edition.

Agree with Dan that the touch of gold plus the grip star are not " over the top." Someone got this design spot-on. And since it is a limited edition, that makes it look even more special.

I mentioned, Ernie, that I have a SA .45 colt revolver with ivory grips. After looking at yours, mine looks to be leaning more toward plain-Jane. I don't know what design or pattern might have been applied to the pearl grips, but something could have worked.

I know I'm just ramblin' on, but your Ruger has my imagination in gear now. Here are a couple of photos of my Uberti revolver alongside a really sharp-looking image of a running horse. Since this Schofield revolver was predominately used by calvary soldiers during WWI, I think this horse image would be a cool addition positioned on the grip like your star. Imagine~~~I can almost see it.

Thanks for sharing...congrats again on acquiring such a sharp-looking revolver.

I love the looks of the old Single Actions and one is certainly high on my bucket list. However, I wouldn't buy something I wouldn't want to shoot, unless I planned to start a reserved parking section in my safe. Some limited edition guns do appreciate in value, if they are NIB, especially with the box and all their paperwork. I have had the opportunity to buy a number of limited edition runs, and chose to spend the difference in price on a good quality holster or ammo, more ammo.

With that being said, if that price puts the gun near the price of a standard Ruger model, I would buy it and make it my BBQ gun.

Did not buy it, looking at it and wanted some opinions. I don’t think I would shoot it so I do not think I will buy.

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

I agree. Looks "too nice" to shoot.

Unless I had piles of money and would probably just display it only anyway, I would just rather have a regular Vaquero, like I already have, lol.

That horse silhouette would look VERY sharp on your pistol grip.
