Range Report: morning shoot

[North Country Gal]

That would be the listed weight of the Cattleman, yes. Best way to be sure is to measure the diameter of the cylinder. If it's a Cattleman, it will measure 1.675 across the flats. A Stallion would be smaller.

There are two sizes of the Ruger Vaquero. The original Vaqueros were full sized Blackhawks and will be marked Vaquero. Ruger then downsized the Vaquero to make it more the size of a Colt for the Cowboy action crowd. These will be marked New Vaquero. The New Vaquero is close to the size and dimension of a Colt 1873, but not identical. Still enough difference for me to much prefer the Colt. A Colt 1873 fits my hand like a glove and I can cock it without having to alter my grip. Not so with the New Vaquero.

It’s 1.446” across the widest measurement. My Cimarron in 38 has the same size frame and cylinder. The 38 actually read 1.45 even.

Has to be the Stallion, then. Sure looks smaller than a Cattleman.

I’m still trying to confirm. I might email Uberti with the serial number. For quality these are two of my best. I visited a couple gun stores and am looking for more SA’s.

As I mentioned in your other post, SAs are hard to find these days. Keep looking for used.
