So my brother suddenly got a fancy for the Single-Action Army, loves the design but hates to cough up the cash...
Seeing as how a local gunshow is coming up tomorrow, I'm trying to persuade him to fulfill such a desire, though he's put a few criteria in place:
1. Inexpensive
2. Reliable
3. .45 Colt
At the moment, I've boiled the search down to the Ruger New Vaquero/Black Hawk, though the Taurus Gaucho is a strong contender due to price differences. Any nuggets of knowledge on the current market for these models, used or new? Also, what should I look for in terms of mechanics (specifically the SAA, as I've already read the sticky on buying used revolvers)
Thanks guys ^^
