I posted a similar question a while back and 38 spl probably got the most votes. Lots of people thought 357 mag was too much medicine where over penetration is a danger, and also where you are shooting in enclosed spaces without ear protection. In any case since starting that thread and...

Dang those are muscular looking with the shorter barrel. I have the 7.5" version. I bet the bears will move aside and stand politely while you pass when you take that out on the trail with you.

My old Detective locks up better than any other revolver I've handled. It's like one fused piece of steel.

Well I just inherited a Colt Detective Special from the 60's and although I haven't fired it yet, you make me anxious to take it out and put it through it's paces.

I only own revolvers, mostly Rugers. I like the aesthetics, the fact that they are all steel, the reliability, and the fact that it's hard to have an ND unless you are really trying. I'll probably break down and get an auto one of these days but it will probably be something sort of old timey...

I always assumed so. It's loose on my Uberti/Cimarron too.

Nice shootin! Love the gun! Blackhawk is definitely my next purchase.

Once again, lots of great feedback -- thanks you guys. About the best justification I can come up with for getting it is, it's exactly what I would want in a Vaquero, and if I pass this one up, to get the same gun (pre 2005, 45 LC, 5.5" barrel) I'd likely have to do a lot of searching, maybe...

Post #1 got me some great advice re a gunsmith recommendation here at THR, so I'm looking for more with post #3. There's a used but very good condition Vaquero (not New Vaquero) at a Turners nearby for $450. As these are getting harder to find, do you think this is a good deal? Or should I...

Thank you!

Can anyone recommend a good gunsmith in the Los Angeles or Orange County CA area? I have a Cimmaron Model P SAA with a busted bolt. Thanks!! Jim
