Lucky find? Ruger "Original" Vaquero

[Bad Dog]

I feel pretty lucky to have found this beauty today. It seems to be a configuration that isnt as popular, or produced in large numbers as othe Vaquero offerings, but sometimes thats the way I prefer it.
Its a 1995 production 45 Colt Vaquero, case hardened color frame, and a 7.5" barrel.

Very nice!

I bought its twin at the Merchandise Mart gun show in early '98 and still shoot it regularly.

Getting a steel ejector housing is on my to-do list.

I like the color case hardened frame. Congrats on the new shooter!

That is pretty! I like the case hardened frame better then the blue. Always reminds me of mother of pearl.

Mother of pearl is for pimp guns. [Coffee]
