How many times have you shot that thing. I owned one and its a fire breathing dragon for sure, but I had to replace the firing pin spring twice! First when it was new after ten rounds, I send it to murray Charlton for fixing, then again after that with only 20 rounds. After that I figured id had a lemon and sold it.

Shooting it for the first time this weekend... hope I have better luck with mine than you did with yours!!

Edited: took it out the other day, and put 20 rounds through it. Functioned perfectly. Quickest fifty bucks I ever spent! ;-)

"Happy Trails" to me...

I decided to take the cowboy trail. I've wanted a SAA Colt for as long as I can remember.
Now, after years of military experience and collecting guns of WWII onwards, I finally found
this RUGER NEW VAQUERO in Stainless Steel. Such a beautiful revolver! I opted for the .357
version because it shoots .38 Spl equally well, but it easier to find than .45 LC here, and cheaper
than the .357. But the magnum cartridge punches above its weight if I ever need that kind of energy.

The front sight is wrong too, somebody put a fibre optic on it prior to the gent I bought it from. I am on the hunt for proper front sight and grips, but even at that a 27-2 nickel with 5" barrel is a rare bird. It sucks that somebody buggered around with it, but I do have original presentation box and papers. Grips and front sight shouldn't be too difficult, and it is worth the effort. I couldn't pass on it because of the barrel length.

Now, if I could just find a really decent 25-2 or -3....dammit! I missed one by a couple minutes last week, looked beauty. One of these days....as the Pink Floyd song says.

The photos don't do it justice!
 
I'm not a revolver guy at all, but I had to pick up 2 for the Restricted firearms course. I actually love this Taurus chambered in 44 mag! It fits my had awesome and has very little recoil, makes me want to be able to hunt with it. The Chiappa 1873 22LR is a POS though.

A .44 Magnum with very little recoil?? I'd be interested in that.
Too bad about the Chiappa, tho...next time try a Ruger 'New Vaquero'!

It helps that it is weighted nice, rubber grip and compensated. The grip is more ergonomic than my friends S&W 686. I will make a video when I go to the range next.

O well, it was cheap.
 
Here's a change of pace.....my Colt Police Positive Special .38, manufactured in 1926...it came with a funky set of hand carved wood grips which were pretty interesting, but not original. So, I managed to source some date correct, original, perfect grips. No scratches or chips...it is a cute little revolver, I'm going to take it out and give it a go when the weather turns nice.

Top is my Dan Wesson, .44 Mag with 10" barrel. There are now more powerful revolvers, but I doubt any that are more accurate. Bottom is my S&W 686 in .357 Mag with 4 position adjustable front site
 
"Stayin' Alive...stayin' alive...!"

Oooo, what a perfect pair! I don't imagine they get fired very often anymore?
Those cap guns were a technological breakthrough when they came online in mid-century. I love "the look" of them, and I'd get a repro--
if they just weren't such a hassle to reload...but I would go for an open top cartridge revolver replica to counterpoint my New Vaquero.
Still, it's good that those old guns are still "supported" by a segment of the industry, and that folks like you are active in keeping that tech alive and still functioning.
"Gudonya", pardner!

Colt Third Model Dragoon .44 cal and an Interarms Virginian Dragoon 44 Magnum both made in 1976, I had them out on the range today and took this picture:

More nice revolvers, Skinny!
I recently discovered that there's a CAS/SASS group over here in Courtenay, so I'm planning on checking in with them
