uneducated guess… lolHow on earth did you conclude that most Uberti buyers are hobby gun smiths?

That's about the going rate in my area.$750 for a Ruger New Vaquero? too much?
it’s very nice! I wish our sales tax was not 10.1%.That's about the going rate in my area.

yeah, guest not having a state income tax has it up’s and downs here is Washington. We are taxed to death!Ouch, that's gotta suck. I thought 6% was bad enough.
they wanted a Cimarron Frontier by Peitta for $400. Way too much for a used one. But they had a Ruger Vaquero SS with wood grips for $750.This little Cimarron was made by Uberti. I got it NiB for somewhere in the low $400's OTD less than a year ago.
It's a very good shooter and hasn't malfunctioned. My friend and I and all four of our daughters have shot it and enjoyed it very much.
You don't have to pay a lot for a decent-looking, functional SAA clone. (Though I do prefer my Rugers in some ways.)
I considered getting a 3" model for CC "just for fun" and decided that was a bad idea. I typically carry a 2" DAO revolver, major reasons being that it doesn't have to be cocked, or even removed from a pocket. I might not have the time or space to both draw a longer revolver and cock it.
Okay, okay... giving away secrets time.thanks! I’m a long time reloader. I’m thinking of making “wax” loads for it, i seen cowboy guys on the internet talk about it. If I get it, it’s been there for a few years, it’s definitely going to be a novelty. Alright… off to the shop to see if I can do some horse trading
Now you are talking!Okay, okay... giving away secrets time.
Get the stupid gun. Make yourself some #8 shot loads. Invite your pals out to a range with no RO. Bring party balloons. Blow up a bunch of balloons and tape them to targets 10 yds out and spread out like the bad guys in the movie. Then have at it with the stupid gun and shot. You'll pop all the balloons like you actually knew how to hit something and your pals will be amazed.
