If I had the cash I would order one, these things are cool.

Does anyone know if they plan to make these in 45 Colt?

I got one of these a few weeks ago. Not much fun with Buffalo Bore's 340 grain loads -- or Garrett's 310s for that matter..... It has a very good trigger out of the box and the fit and finish is also very good.  |

I have gravitated towards Blackhawks and Super Blackhawks for their adjustable sights although I really like the looks of the vaquero. |

Windage was good, but all of the heavy bullet loads shot low as expected.

Very cool Ruger. The "belly gun" platform is fun and useful. Not exactly a birdshead grip, and definitely not the same price point but this 3 1/3" round butt FA97 in .45 Colt weighs in at 33 oz and is more compact that a full size Ruger BH frame (not judgemental, just comparison). It is manageable with 320gr RCBS SWCGCs or 320gr Lee FNGC at a chronoed 1,130 fps and it's a delight with the aux .45 ACP cylinder. Just thought I'd share.  FWIW, Paul |

I was thinking large framed with that comment but the mid frames are dandy in their own right. I picked up one of the ACP versions when they came out.

Does anyone know if they plan to make these in 45 Colt? I could be mistaken, but I think Ruger is making them in both .45 Colt & .45ACP? Beautiful six-gun but with full house loads I'm betting it'd really get your attention? |

They are currently making the New Vaqueros in both 45 Colt and ACP, blued or stainless finish for either caliber. I gave up on waiting and just found one of the large framed 45s for a good deal.

I think one in .45ACP would be really nice.
