Here is my .45LC

Ruger Vaquero "Birds Head"



I brought up a thread around 8 pages or so ago (or last January) about me inquiring about Vaquero's...specifically with the Birds Head Grip.

I've owned and sold Ruger Blackhawk's in .44, Super Redhawk in .454 C, S&W's in .38 and .357...etc.

I love the way this revolver feels. I don't have any other revolvers and actually hadn't planned on making this purchase.



Traded a guy my Beretta Nano in 9mm on Friday night (for a $$$ Browning Shotgun)...and picked Saturday for my search for a replacement CHL pistol. Looked at LCR's and other revolvers but kept coming back to the store with the Birdshead .45LC.


Even if it isn't my replacement CHL pistol (on the heavy side), I "had" to have it

Better one good gun that talks to you than twenty sensible guns that don,t. For me, anyway.. Would,mt mind seein a pic of that gun out of the case, seem to be developing a slight fascination with the birds head revolvers.

Congrats on a good lookin gun!

Thanks!

I really enjoy the Birds Head gripped guns better than the regular Ruger grips..

Looks good.

I like it. I have a soft spot for single actions.

I NEVER used to ever buy a handgun with fixed sights, except a 1911 and then I would have a set of Bomars put on them...

However as time has gond by I have Matured, and realize there is nothing wrong with fixed sights
WHEN YOU CANNOT SEE THEM ANYWAY...

Nowa days, when I shoot I just Use the Force.

One guy in the club I used to shoot with had a short tubed single action .45 set up that combined a wide notch fixed rear with a low square post front sight. Sounds conventional enough. However, he also had a gold shotgun bead fitted on the top of the front post. He said "when everything looked kinda flat across the top he just put the bead on it - just like his shotgun!"

Thanks guys.

Keep us posted on what ammo you test in your 45 Colt, and what shoots to the sights, best groups etc.

I have the same gun in stainless with black micarta stocks. I LOVE this model and I am sure you will too!
