I'm looking at Ruger SA sixguns as I contemplate getting into CAS, and I'm puzzled by what I find. Blackhawks and Vaqueros are the same guns, so far as I can see, except that Blackhawks have the additional feature of adjustable sights; yet Vaqueros uniformly cost more.
I can figure two possible explanations. Either there's some other difference between these guns I don't know about, or the craze for CAS, and the desire to shoot 'Traditional' rather than 'Modern' class (though I don't see why this would matter in a sport with no awards) pumps up the demand for Vaq's beyond the (more obviously multifunctional) Blackhawks.
Am I missin' sumthin? Is the Blackhawk not the excellent and potentially multiuse gun I imagine? Is the Vaquero something special I haven't spotted?
