Carolina Reaper Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Have decided to not buy another and see if anyone has a Winchester short rifle they would trade. Must be a Winchester not a Uberti and be preferably a CCH finish 73 or a 66 .45 short rifle in excellent condition. The trade item is a 44 Special, assume it was a Lipsey’s offering. As you can see it is stainless, 4.62 inch barrel, marked as simply Ruger Vaquero even though it is a New Vaquero. PM me what you have if it meets these criteria. Since nobody seems to have a trade, would sell for $1400 $1300 plus shipping if not in upstate SC region for local delivery. This will be the only price drop prior to selling on other venues. Thanks for looking.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I had ten, but sold a couple and have eight left - the three on the right w/SBH hammers I'm keeping for myself. Does yours have a lock under the grip? According to my notes, I have one with no lock, and the rest have locks. Tough to find - only 503 made in this configuration. Take your heart meds, and I'll PM you a price. PM me your s/n - who knows, I might have one consecutive to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abe E.S. Corpus SASS #87667 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Another discerning individual who appreciates the .44 Special. Whenever there is a discussion about the Vaquero/New Vaquero “naming convention” this is the first exception. I’ve read several accounts of shooters who got great deals on .44 Special New Vaqueros or Flattop Blackhawks because they languish on gun store shelves, but I was never that lucky.

That was the story with the first two I bought several years ago, "We've had them for two years and can't get rid of them". They gave them to me for less than .357's and .45's were going for at the time. MSRP on Vaqueros right now is a whopping $1019, and I saw one of these go for $1649, shipped, a couple months ago, USED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still hand Bill Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I was one of those. Found a pair of flat tops, sequential numbers for a good price. Really like the 44 spl. Would like a pair of vaqueros too, but they are pretty rare. Settled for a pair of open tops for when I shoot fc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina Reaper Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Y'all are making me think I should be selling instead of buying.. - I'm not actually in the hardcore 44 special fanbase that seems to exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT. ELI 35882 GUNFIGHTER Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I lusted after a pair of blued . 44's but couldn't find any so I ordered a consecutive pair of the ss .44's 510 series when Lipseys did a run. Love these guns. Wish I had a spare or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well , it might be that you could trade your 44 Special up pretty close to a pair of 357's or 45's. Aways back before the rarity was obvious , I had a pair , one each blue and SS , of the 3 1/2" models. Have also had a couple of the blue flattops. Sold or traded all of them over a period of time. That is how much foresight sticks to me. Won't even get into Colts or USFA pairs. Too sad. Rex , who is always late. PS: Have been a 44 fan from way back .

Maddog McCoy SASS #5672 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I like my 44 special, I have a pair of Colt New Frontiers in 44spl, 5.5 in barrel and usually shoot light loaded 44 Russians in them. I want to get a blue and a nicle set of Colts in 44spl, but every time I buy one something goes and i have to use the money for something else.
