Nice old school Trooper224!
Nice old school Trooper224!
I like 45 Colt single actions quite a lot. I have a couple Rugers I butchered up.
Early type Vaquero with a few modifications,
Older Blackhawk, made into a flat top and otherwise buggered up fairly extensively,
Current favorite carry rig,
Have a rifle in the same caliber, but have to say, I wish it were a 44. The chambers are pretty sloppy in most 45 rifles.
I do have a Colt, but its not a 45 Colt,...or an SAA.
Malamute has the best stuff.
Shot the new Vaquero today.
140 rounds, 100 of which were cowboy loads, 20 were Hornady Critical Defense and the last 20 were Winchester PDX 225 grain bonded JHP.
Shoots to the sights with 250 grain cowboy loads, about an inch low with the PDX, and miles low with the 185 grain Critical Defense.
It shoots pretty decent. That's about 1.2ish inches, off a rest at 15ish yards. With the sights as they are, I don't think I can do much better than that.
I'm thinking that you probably don't need to do better than that.
