As someone already mentioned, the only difference between the SASS Vaqueros and the plain Vaqueros is the hammers and the SASS emblem on the grips. Plan on putting in a set of Wolff springs if it hasn't already been done. Stock springs are thumb killers.
A lot of us use tricked Vaquero’s with transfer bars removed & all slicked up but in reality it’s not going to make you go faster unless your duelist or gunfighter the short strike probably them helps quite a bit, but a spring kit will work wonders. Where you want to spend your money is on the rifle because that will make a huge difference on how it feels and functions. Shotguns also It’s a fun game when everything is working the way it’s supposed too.I started with Ruger.Vaqueros, a Cody matic 73 and a IAC 97, the only thing holding me back was me lol.

I have the option to purchase a used pair of Ruger New Vaqueros in .357 at what seems to be a great price. This are the SASS set. What is everyone's opinion of these firearms for competition? I would then also want to purchase a rifle in the same caliber.
I am new to SASS and CAS. All of my firearms I found used, I have one Ruger Vaquero, one Ruger New Vaquero, both in .45 colt. I have a Henry Big Boy, also in .45 colt and I have a Stoeger SxS 12 gauge couch gun.
Ruger NewVaqueros or Vaqueros are the best , very robust., I don’t mind buying used ones at all. 357/38 is the cheapest caliber to shoot.

IMHO, the guns to "buy once, cry once" are - Rifle: Uberti 1873 - Revolvers: Ruger Vaquero's or Bisley's - Shotgun: CZ Sharptail or a non-worn out SKB or Browning BSS. All with action work and modifications.
'Buy Once, Cry Once Equipment".
Holsters: Mernickle HP1 Starter kit which includes everything you'll need.
Cart: Rugged Gear - easy to push around. Or a quality wood cart.
Reloading: Dillon Precision Press or Hornady Lock-N-Load Progressive
Costume: Jeans, button up long sleeve shirt and SASS approved boots. You'll want a hat with a brim to keep the hot brass from the 1873 going down your shirt. Many here can testify to that. Build you costume after you spent a little time in the game and build your own persona. Minimal or maximum costuming is purely a personal choice.
Hope this helps.
The wording on SASS approved boots is or was misunderstood in handbook. Unless your shooting B western or Classic Cowboy you can wear just about any boots or shoes that aren’t sneakers. Rubber sole work boots/shoes are fine.
Go to some local matches and just hang out or help with posse duties.
All Longhunter suggestions are spot on. SKB’s are really expensive but if you handle and shoot one there’s a reason why.
Be careful buying used equipment as it can be someone’s problems, but there are also some good used guns as well.

I have a 73 Winchester (Miroku) short rifle ,I was wondering if anybody would care to trade a carbine stock for a crescent. I know they make aftermarket ones but figured I would see if somebody might want a crescent stock. Trade crescent for a carbine.

I know some will disagree, but I like gun order in matches. I write stages with mixed starting gun order, for example in a 6 stage match your going to start with every gun at least once maybe twice and maybe one or two choice stages. Example: Two stages start with rifle, one time rifle will be on a prop or table and one time in hand or cowboy port arms etc. Same with shotgun and pistols hands on pistols or prop or staged. Never start the same way twice in a match and you have variety, you don’t need rifle last to add variety.

I never write rifle last stages because I don’t trust the TO’s on every posse to get the last shot of the rifle/the rifle shots. We use Bluetooth timers from Competition Electronics with the CAS scoring program you can look at split strings in the reports and a lot of the time the rifle splits are missing.

Here's what a serrated front sight looks like in particular.
OK, after learning several thousand things about Google Photos
, I came up with this link for my serrated stainless Vaquero front sights:
https://goo.gl/photos/KdFJe644PMrqtz4cA
I did that file work in just a few minutes with, I believe, a 40 LPI checkering file from Brownells. About 3 or 4 years ago.
Good luck, GJ
works good dab some paint in serration works great and looks good too

For those who are unfamiliar with W3G, this is the type of movement typically available.
Nice run !

As Chance mentioned we had the T&R Ranch they did the W3G matches also WVC the Orlando Club did them for a while, unfortunately folks thought like Blackey Cole mentioned they were afraid to try it because you could move and shoot and figured it would mess them up for SASS matches but it's totally different than SASS,W3G you cannot see all targets unless you move in SASS targets are in front , It was fun and nothing to be worried about

Lots of good advice
Uberti 73 in 357 / 38 18.5" - 20" barrel
Rugers 357 / 38 with 4 5/8 or 5 1/2 " barrels
Skb or 97 win or get both
Good competition leather
Your budget should be able to get you everything,
Good Luck AO

Midwest Hale and I had a great time!
Polecat Joe, The Outlaw Travis James & Chickie Winsome did a great job with the match.
Stages were fun , food was really good, nice awards (buckles) , all the details that go into a big match were covered.
Folks should put this match on their radar if you’re in Florida in January.
