Pat Riot Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I went for a motorcycle ride and as I was going by my favorite LGS I noticed there was no line. There has been a line in front of that store since all this CoVid stuff started. I decided to go in and say “Hello”. Great bunch of guys work there. I looked on the wall and there were only 3 long guns on the wall. Nothing I would want or need. There were 3 handguns in the display case. What stuck out was a stainless Ruger New Vaquero 5.5” in .45 Colt. Kind of surprising as these guys usually have more modern styled and tactical guns there. I asked Chuck if it was new or used and he said “New” as he retrieved it and handed it to me. It felt good in my hand. I fondled it a bit and asked how much? He said $600. I bought it. I think $600 is a good deal for a brand new Ruger New Vaquero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 You'll like it Pat. I have two stainless steel SASS models in .45 Colt with 5.5 " barrels. I really like the smaller grips and lower hammers for my hands as I shoot duelist. Great shooters, but I had to file the front sight on one to get POA and POI together at CAS ranges. NOW, you'll have to get another!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had one before and I sold it thinking I had a solid deal on an original Vaquero to match one I have now. I missed it. I have been using my son-in-law’s Vaqueros while I looked for a mate to my .45. When I stopped SASS for 10 years I pretty much got rid of nearly all my cowboy guns. I am sort of stating over again...if I ever quit having to go under the knife for one reason or another. The one I sold was definitely not a tack driver. I am hoping this one is accurate. If so maybe I will buy a mate for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw an OMV for $650 in a gun store a few days ago. SS, 45 colt, 5.5" barrel, all the things I like. The main thing that stopped me from buying it was that there was only 1. I might tip over if I try to shoot one at a time. If it had been in 44 mag, I might have gotten it. If it had been blued AND in 44 mag I definitely would have gotten it because then it would have matched the one in the safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
