My New Vaquero!

[tyromeo55]

Love the grips! Ive been wanting a vaquero and you guys are not making it easy.

Ohhhhh that's nice. That's the exact gun I want, with a matching 4 5/8" to go with it.

Sooo I took it with me today and afte all the "work" was done I broke out my new toy and got to shoot it. I didn't get to shoot as much as I wanted to because all I had was the HP and at $25 for 20 I was a little conservitave. I still have 6 left. Only because I had to shoot 3 more time when I seen this thing slithering in front of me on the way back to the truck!! I shot it about 10 yards away and finally the 3rd! shot did the job. Blew it in two and sent the a$$ end of it 10ft away.

I know it's not big, but it sure was fun trying to hit the thing while it was trying to get away!

Very nice!!

Now you need to start reloading for it!

 

[jmiller45]

Believe me, I am! I called 3 different walmarts, academy, and Bass Pro and couldn't find any ammo for it. Maybe I can find the dies for it at least.

My ex has the very same gun. Love that bird's head. Now I'm gonna have to see if she'll sell it! We used to shoot a lot. Mine is a 7 1/2".

Man, forget those high prices for ammo, and start reloading. It's kinda fun, kinda easy, and for sure cheaper. Somewhere I have the # for a guy that does a great hard cast bullet, sized and lubed. I'll try to find it. It's been a while. Save that brass! Buying 45 Colt ammo is for tourists!

You just had to post another picture. I must own one....

If you really want to save, you'll get into casting too. Takes some time, but I cast almost 500 .38 bullets yesterday, for next to nothing plus the gas used to run the stove.

 

[jmiller45]

Casting? Melting lead and shaping into bullet? Interesting!

I like that 7 1/2 barrel! But I'd hate to have to quick draw with it!

 

[NikatKimber]

Yup, that's the general idea. I'll post some pictures soon of my casting setup. Relatively cheap to get into, and for the savings over buying... I'll put together the stuff you'd need too.
