In the spring of 2015 I was browsing the gun shops and came across this jewel:
"This jewel" was a 7 1/2" New Vaquero in .45 Colt, with some mighty handsome stag grips. It was brought in by a widow whose husband had been into Rugers. Now I had no need for a Vaquero, but bought the gun for the grips. I took the grips off, replaced them with black stock Ruger grips:
And sold the gun. Now I had a pair of nice stag grips and no gun to fit them. Ah, but there was method to my madness. I bought this .44 Special Flat Top:
And those stags went on the newly purchased .44 Special:
And, it shoots very well to boot:
End of story.
