Latest fire arm to come home with me is a Ruger Vaquaro. I put about 120 rounds thought it today and am well pleased. Picture below is my las six rounds shooting with the fixed sights, of course, and resting my elbows on the bench from about seven yards. My other big hand guns is a Taurus Raging Bull in 44 mag and the Vaquaro has made me appreciate the Taurus rubber grip. Shooting the Vaquero made me wish I'd brought my shooting gloves. I had two snafus and both were ammo related. I was shooting Winchester 45 LC round nosed lead target loads. After the seventh shot the cylinder would not advance. I assumed gun malfunction. Wrong. A bullet had crept forward and was sticking out the end of the cylinder. Pushed it back in and proceeded . . . which in retrospect may not have been the best choice, but there was no disaster. It happened once more with the Winchester ammo. Getting used to the fix sights was okay, but am shooting to the left. Not sure what to do about that but aim a touch right. Mostly bought this gun for the fun of it, but now kind of have a hankering to try to take a whitetail with it. Hmmmm . . . .
Live well, be safe
