The best handguns and the worst handguns. It was a late 90’s vintage Ruger Vaquero in .45 Cott. Looking at the leg and stainless steel with a 4 and 5/8-inch barrel and wooden hands, it was a real joy to see and handle . This type of revolver was the only one used by action heroes in western movies. It had the classic lines of a Colt Peacemaker. It was a really nice firearm. It has been mine for many years. Unfortunately, it never worked out well for me and I decided to sell it. Here are the reasons why I let it go;
1. This is too low a layer. The manual said that certain visions were dead before 25 yards. But, if someone shoots my big Ruger, their bullets are stuck about 6-inches away from a fair range of pistols at about 15 to 25 yards. While some experienced shooters suggest that I can cut the file and metal off the front sight, the thought of getting a file on an expensive pistol makes me shudder.
2. He shot to the left. He also aimed a large pistol at the left arrow. So I found myself applying the Kentucky curve and focusing on the top right corner of my shields. And even this issue could be rectified by bending the front sight a little to the right, but I am not used to bending something expensive.
3. Spitting. Friends who shot my Ruger Vaquero told me that sometimes it would spit out particles of lead or particles of debris, causing the cylinder to stick to the barrel. I picked up the target on the side of the revolver and found it shot from a distance and found a few naenia deposited on the paper. When it was mostly undetected, it could develop into something bad over time. Responding is downright rude. Some have suggested that I have a revolving engineer or dark cylinders.
4. The ammunition was expensive. I found the .45 Long Colt ammunition to be significantly more expensive than the economical 9mm and .22 quality handguns I usually shoot. In one case, the ammunition cost about $28 a box. This event was seen as costly in the event of a great recession. In this economy, when I have the money to shoot, I’ll stick to the Ruger Single-Sex. 22 Revolver!
5. Cowboy Action Shooting is looking more and more expensive. Even if I started reloading, there is no way that Cowboy Action Shooting will fit into our budget anytime soon. When I got to the equestrian action archery, I noticed that all the participants were in period clothing and generally had two six-guns, a lever-action rifle, and a double-barreled rifle. I didn’t even worry about the fully armored vehicles they had brought with them. That kind of sport rising wasn’t in my budget back in the 90s and the economy hasn’t gotten any easier. .
Usually, I like the Ruger Vaquero for its great old novelty, smooth trigger, and shape. Despite the problems, it was fun to shoot the big cowboy pistol. But, when money is pressed, I am more than ready to take it off. I didn’t want to spend more money to make a rollover to complete the way. right out of the box Of course, the old style Ruger Vaquero was produced between 1993 and 2005. It was replaced by the new Vaquero in 2005. The new Vaquero is slightly smaller and closely follows the lines of the classic Colt Pacific. However, if I were to buy another Ruger single action, it would probably be a Blackhawk with sights.
