My new Vaquero in .45 COLT> not my first Ruger SA but my first .45 Colt.
The Dealer told me that all Vaqueros are impossible to order now.

old beater single six

I will have to post pics of my SBH. Just picked up some new grips for it.

This here's what I carry!

Here is my Single Six I have had for many years.

I did the wax model, then cast the Sterling snake and inlayed it into the grip, plated the backstrap nickel and trigger gold, otherwise it is just the way I bought it.

Tom: Very, very nice work, and a sweet single action there, bud.

Thanks, I found the deer skull in the hills around Calistoga California and I thought it made a good prop. I saw a Clint Eastwood cowboy movie and went home and worked up the snake for the grip just for grins.

I try to play with inlay and carving every once and a while, I am working on a carving for a Browning stock right now that I will post when I am done, that is if it ever gets warm again.

With the new computer, came a new scanner, so here's an old pic of some Rugers and Colts I've had. Yes, the Colts are SA semi-autos, but still single action, right? .45 ACP and .38Super, missing are a 10mm and a LW Commander or two. There's a shortened Super Blackhawk .44 I took a deer with, a .41 Mag. 6 1/2" and a .45 Colt/.45 ACP convertible 4 5/8". I sure do miss them all, but times and tastes change.....

Hey fellers/ My go to hunting pistol is this .45 Blackhawk with a M8-2X Leupold. Shoots consistent 2" groups at 100 yards and has done better. Bullet of choice for hunting is the 300gr XTP launched at slightly over 1100fps. Never recovered a bullet from a critter. Killed several deer with it including this buck. Killed the #4 Corsican Ram in the world by handgun for the year 2000 with it after crawling through briars for 5 hours. Great gun. reflex264

Here's pictures of my new Super Blackhawk .44 Mag that I picked up this week.

Here's one, oops it's a Colt, sorry, my bad.
