Sounds like a fine EDC and classic as well. If I remember right the Old Model Vaquero is a larger frame making it a stouter revolver. Thanks for sharing about using a single action for EDC ByLandandSeaArms.
FTX load 185,225 in your Vaquero will surely defend. I've seen your choices in carry arms. This an additional option. Greetings from Tennessee. Heads up, I have 2 SS Taurus revolvers. I use Birchwood Casey. Lead remover & Polishing Cloth. Works very effective with the carbon ring on cylinder and ported barrel. Keep it away from Blued metal.
Thanks for the heads up on the Birchwood Casey lead remover & polishing cloth for the stainless steel. I would imagine keep away from nickel too in addition to the blued? Thanks again randyadams03.
Tow year ago my wife bought me a Henry Big Boy lever action rifle in 357mag for our 30th anniversary. I have been looking for a Ruger New Vaquero in 357mag to pair it with the Henry. It would be a perfect match!
Very fine rifle, nice gift. Sounds like a good plan and a great match. I have a Rossi R92 lever action in .45 Colt to pair with my New Models Vaquero and Blackhawk. I also have a .357 Henry Big Boy carbine with the large loop lever and brass, yet no single actions to pair it with, just my 686 plus .357 magnum.
I have a 45 Colt double action revolver for EDC. I prefer the .452 Maximum Expansion bullet by Lehigh defense. see it in action here: th-cam.com/video/5Bo44nokg88/w-d-xo.html
Appreciate you sharing and that video of the Lehigh defense bullet. I also have a S&W Governor which shoots the .45 Colt well as a cross draw defensive carry. Is your DA a Taurus or S&W or something like that. I have always wanted the S&W model 25 in .45 Colt, but usually only find that 6.5” version as the 4” mountain gun is hard to find. Also certain Model 25s are .45 ACP only with moon clips. Thanks thetexasrat.
@@redesert_boy8202 I cross draw carry as well. I have a Judge Magnum (which has a 3" barrel and a 3" cylinder). I also plan on sizing some cases down to fit this bullet into regular 45 Colt cylinders, so as to fit in a Ruger Redhawk with a 4.2" barrel for EDC cross draw. The Ruger Redhawks with the 4.2" barrels also take moon-clips of which one could trim down .308 cases to accept this bullet for speed loading purposes.
@@thetexasratYou know when the Ruger Redhawk 45 Colt / 45 ACP with the moon clips first came out many years ago, I ordered one and after many months of waiting cancelled the order. That would still be the best overall DA/SA .45 Colt IMHO as the Redhawks should handle very stout loads to my understanding. You may want to check out Garrett Cartridges of Texas who make RHO or Redhawk Only cartridges even in .45 Colt. Thanks for sharing.
@@redesert_boy8202 I'm sure that being the cases will have to be cut down that Garret does not have these. And being they will have to be made up special I can just as easily make them myself. I have the equipment to do so, but no known load data for this exist, so I'll have to work up a load myself.
I carry an Old Model Vaquero 5.5" in .45 Colt as my EDC...
