Looks like you have the aluminum ejector housing? Didn't some of the original Vaqueros have steel housings? Never owned a Vaquero. Quite a few Blackhawks though.

I like my Galco Single Action Outdoorsman holster. Light, trim and can be worn strongside or crossdraw.

Good luck on your hunt(s).


I haven't chrono'ed the load out of this particular Vaquero yet, but it did 1045 fps from my old 5 1/2" gun and was slow with most loads. IIRC the Super Blackhawk was or is offered with a steel ejector housing. Borchardt Rifle offers a steel replacement housing which I have used and can recommend.
