Default My first New Vaquero....

..... or any Vaquero, for that matter. It was just sitting in one of my local haunts for week after week. The owner finally got tired of me playing with it and offered $400 OTD, so I laid it away. When I picked it up today he even threw in a box of Magtech .45 Colt ammo:



I know the color case finish is no longer available, but this one looks pretty good and I'll try to keep it away from anything that might strip off the finish. At least its nice for now.



I plan to carry it while metal-detecting in the desert - two CCI shot loads followed by four big lead bullets.

The New Vaquero is the smaller framed version of the original Vaquero. This one feels much more Colt-like.
