In my experience, accuracy largely depends on the shooter. The Ruger Vaquero can hold its own, especially with the right ammo. Some might argue it’s less accurate than the 629, but it really depends on your shooting style.
Good point! I think as long as I’m comfortable, I can probably make it work. Is there a break-in period that I should know about?
Yes, a slight break-in is common for the Vaquero. Just give it some trigger time and it should smooth out nicely. On a side note, these revolvers have a great resale value if you ever decide to upgrade later!
That’s a nice feature! I’ve been eyeing other options like the Taurus Raging Bull—any thoughts? It seems to have a lot of power.
I’ve tried the Taurus, and while it’s powerful, some criticize its reliability compared to the Ruger. The Vaquero feels like a tank next to it! But hey, if you want a fun range day, the Taurus could be a blast!
That’s what makes me drawn to it! I love that sturdy feel. Do you think it’s worth the price over some other models?
I’d say yes! The craftsmanship of the Vaquero is top-notch. While you might find cheaper options, the durability and classic style are what make it worth the investment long-term.
I had a good laugh when I first held a Vaquero—felt like I could build a cabin with it! But seriously, it’s got great heft and performance. Just ensure you’re ready for that kick!
That’s awesome! Nothing like some humor to lighten up gun talk. I agree with everyone on the quality. Does anyone have experience with aftermarket grips? Any recommendations?
I’ve added some grips from Hogue, and it made a world of difference in comfort! It takes the edge off the recoil too. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for something more ergonomic.
