The first Ruger that we got was a Vaquero 44 magnum, blue with a 4 5/8" barrel.
It really likes the 44 special ammo or maybe that's just me that likes that ammo.
Have to get it out to get a picture of it.
By the way both of you guys have very fine looking Firearms to say the least.

While I have several Blackhawks with the New Model, original Vaquero size frame, I only had one original Vaquero, in 45Colt/ACP. I recently sold that one off in favor of a couple New Vaqueros. I have relatively small hands and for quick handling, fixed sight use the smaller frame works better. Plus otb properly indexed loading is great...saves me the time and expense of converting to halfcock notch as I have done with my Blackhawks.

I have both the large frame and medium frame Vaqueros. I think the large frame works better for .45 and .44. But the .357/.38 balances better in the medium frame.

Also, the medium frame guns seem better in some respects - chamber throat dimensions, finish, and cylinder stop for reloading.

I like them both.
