Ruger New Vaquero 7.5" in 45LC #2

Me shooting my Ruger New Vaquero with a 7.5" barrel. The stock grips in the vid are very crappy so I immediately changed them out for some nice Houge cocobolo grips. All the ammo is hand-loaded ammo using a 250gr cast bullet and unique powder. Velocity of the loads out of this gun average 825fps.

are the hogue grips any thicker than the stock grips?

[ericandamanda338]

@glockster19 Yes, they are definitely thicker and feel much better. The factory grips were causing my hand to cramp because they were way too thin.

Damn, how much do those go for? Beautiful revolver

@TheSerenityhuck I got mine for $450. They no longer make the 7.5" barrel Vaquero's so I'm not sure what the price would be if you can find one.

@ericandamanda338 Ah damn. I like the 7.5" barrel. Thanks.

@ChromeArty Yeah, they stopped making it a few years ago. You might be able to find it on galleryofguns . com That's where I found mine. Some other sites may have it too.

@ericandamanda338 you are a lucky bastard, I can't even find a 7.5 '' one their website!

[ericandamanda338]

@ChromeArty Yup, I saw it with the 7.5" barrel and had to have it. I also have a 3.5" Birdshead Old Vaquero. They are both great shooters. Especially with my good handloads.

I didn't know that Ruger made the New Vaquero in the original 7.5 inch. That's awesome. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive in the mail :) Case hardened frame with 5.5 inch barrel in 45 LC. Can't wait. Also have a New Model Blackhawk in .357 mag.. haven't shot it yet though....

Now I just need some leather for these things
