Coot Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Bought a taylors running iron and absolutely love it, everything about it. That said I always wanted a vaquero due to everything I've read about its durability and reliability. Anyway I'm very happy so far just gotta change out the awful hammer and spring. Ive never felt a hammer I hated so much as this vaqueros factory one lol. I ordered lees gunsmithing springs and a sbh hammer to install. Wish me luck. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
