Thinking of purchasing two Ruger Vacaro's.
They are older. .45LC with what looks no more than 4inch barrel. bit in Nickel.
Numbers are:
57-778XX
57-843XX
Guns have been shot the finish not perfect these were used but not used up.
Anyone have date info and what they may be worth?
1911's, 45's
Kinda like the older Pythons. Everyone who has em loves em.
What pistol is now considered the highest sought after pistol out there other than these $5,000 and up pistols you see? Personally I've had them and they're NOT worth the money. Nice, but not worth it compared to others...
Self defense? Nope.
I have the new smaller version. I used to have the older Bisley .45. Grip posision and hammer much nicer than the old thumb buster version.It's fun to shoot at the range. Really enjoy it.
Now I would not carry it, to heavy for any kind of comfort at all. Single action may I...
HA! I sold mine just last month.
Bought it shot it a bunch and realized it was a piece of crap for the $900.00 period.
Went to the 686 Pro Series and knowing it wasn't quite the 627PC and what a bigger piece of doodoo.
These new revolvers sure sren't what they used to be.
Now you want to...
I used to live alone on a farm in Michigan in the country.
One night I woke to what I thought was someone coming in through the window! :eek:
I grabbed my revolver that lay in my nightstand trying VERY hard feeling somewhat numb comeing out of my deep sleep listening to find out which...
Not re-loads. Something purchased at the store.
I hear some are good some not so good.
Python owners/shooters what do you find works the best in this revolver?
I gotta tell you I had mine and put 600 rounds through it in a month and I sold it. It in no way had the feel of the older much less exspensive priced Smiths out there. I also purchased a brand new just came out 686 Pro Series revolver. I knew out of the box it was anoather piece of junk just by...
I don't agree on the wax. I used to use it and I know that after several applications the wax looks milky. I want to clean the metal, clean the oxidation off the gun itself. Bring back the shine. Don't want a bunch of little swirls at all then I can protect the finish.
Don't want a quick fix...
Is this something a person can do safely on a older Colt revolver?
Not just oil it up but somehow clean the blueing itself then protect it?
Don't want to hurt it in any way but it would be nice to bring back a bit of the blue bling.
Ok I see one of these things the Ruger Vaquero and I want to laugh. I Ruger just trying to make a few bucks?
I really don't get it.
John Wayne arried Colt SAA in his cowboy movies.
I am almost certain that the revolver I tried years ago that had the very nice feeling trigger/action was a Model 27. Not 1005 sure though. I like everything about a revolver like butter. Ain't nottin like it!
Great info here I'll be looking closer now and will read the book mentioned in this...
Already have the Python and I have NEVER seen a better revolver I'd rather have. (Other than some of the way old Colt SAA that is)
Now years back I have felt some real nice triggers and over all feel on some Smiths.
Some did have close to the feel of the Python. If so, I'm interested.
