The 1st SA revolver I purchased was a Ruger Vaquero, blue/case
colored, 4 5/8" barrel, with black Micarta Birdshead grips, in 45 Colt.
I bought this new revolver because it was on "Clearence" and mostly
because I thought it to be a thing of great "Beauty".
I then later found that I shot this revolver very accurately. So did a friend-
who was at first angry at me for getting a handgun with a grip configuration like that.
But after shooting it, he went out and bought one too. (Liking the gun AND the price.)
This is the ONLY handgun that I have hunted with, taken game with, and have eaten of ...
... (I'm not going to say- what "kind" of game.)
Later, in a CDNN catalog- my friend found they were selling Ruger Single-Six revolovers,
blue/case colored, black micarta Birdshead grips, chambered in 32 H&R Mag.
We each got one, they are much fun and very accurate. Both of us have different size hands
and there is also quite a difference in frame size between the .32 Cal. Single-Six and
the 45 Colt Vaquero.
But, both of us find both Ruger models to fit and function well and comfortably.
We both believe the "Birdshead grip" to be only an advantage.
