Bucky I did some more reading, and it seems the "Old" model Ruger Vaquero was offered in .44 magnum, but the "New" Vaquero is not, due to a smaller frame. I would consider looking for a used one.

Here is an old Vaquero in .44 magnum on Gunbrokers. New in box, according to the add. I'm tempted myself.

Hey MG, After watching Hickok's vid on the Ruger Super Blackhawk I am now a bit Leary of the .44. Possibly too much recoil. I am thinking of the Ruger Vaquero now in either .357 or .45. He seems sold on that one. He was shooting a .357 and it looked to be powerful enough. Although I would ideally like to keep the ammo for the Henry and the pistol the same, I'm having 2nd thoughts. I kinda want to be able to accurately shoot it with one hand, that .44 may be too much, your thoughts?

If the frame is heavy enough, which the super blackhawk's (and the "old" Vaquero) is, I don't think the recoil would be unmanageable. I know I have fired a .44 magnum revolver at some point, and I don't remember the recoil being a problem, I can't remember what model it was though.

I have fired my model 29 .44 one handed and it isn’t too harsh.

Sling arrived for the Henry this morning. I'm quite happy with it.

OK, after some noodling with the Idea of buying a "cowboy" type pistol, I've decided that what I really want is a 1873 Colt SAA. Thats the kind the "cowboys" in the old western's were using..mostly. That said I have to go back and look at the .45 Uberti "Cattleman", it's a Colt clone, see video. Not being a gun expert I do rely on ol Hickok 45 for some advice along with some others I have seen. I really don't know shit about these guns other than I know what I want it to look like.

If Hickok 45 likes the Uberti, it must be good quality. Nothing wrong with "made in Italy". Lamborghini's are made in Italy (as is my new favorite shaving brush). ;-)

Of course, like he said in the video, Colt still makes them.......for $1800.

I can save approximately $1300.00 going with an Uberti. I need to go back and look at it again.

 

[Meat Grinder]

I just probably wouldn't put any +P ammo in it, but with a .45 Colt, you shouldn't really need it.

I bought my .45 Uberti Colt SAA replica today. I wasn't about to pay the price Bass Pro wanted for the ammo, so I'll have to wait for awhile to fire it. Pretty happy with it.

 

[Meat Grinder]

That looks nice!

I traded a Mauser geha 12 gauge, and various other trinkets
I got a Honda dax 50 in return. It doesn´t run, but it has about 95 percent of all the original parts.
It was a happy day for both parties.

 

[Nemesis]

Got one of these a while back. Was smacking steel at 330, 440, and 550 yards rapid fire a couple weeks back. 6mm Creedmoor Bolt Gun. So much fun.

 

[Buckykatt]

Bought ammo online at https://www.cheaperthandirt.com/
Good prices, no tax, free shipping (Over $100.00) still not a bad deal.

@Buckykatt Had a chance to shoot that Uberti yet?

No, not yet, been too cold. It's supposed to get into the low 50's next week and my brother may come over to shoot it with me. My son has my Henry or I'd be shooting that too. That is one sweet rifle.

 

[Meat Grinder]

Gotcha. They reopened the indoor range near me. $12 per person, per visit. Stay as long as you want. May head there soon.

Thats a good deal the range I use is $20 per person + $10 for additional person, stay as long as you want. It's only good for 50' though, OK for handguns.
