If I recall correctly Ruger made a heavier version of the Vaquero when it first hit the market, more like a Blackhawk with fixed sight. Mine wouldn’t hit a 5 gal bucket 4 out of 6 shots on bags off a bench at 50 yd. I took it to a gun show and came home with a 4-5/8” barrel Blackhawk, outstanding pistol, both stainless 45 Colt. Some years back I stumbled into a deal on a new Vaquero with a long barrel. It dawned on me that it’s a lighter smaller cylinder gun than I formerly had? I bought a Bisley a few years back too. Question is, are the loads listed for Blackhawk and Contender only, safe in the Vaquero, either version? I also have an Anaconda in 45 Colt and they too were built in 44 Mag, are they safe with the higher pressure loads as listed for Blackhawk or Contended only? Or are my Blackhawk and Bisley the only ones I have that can stand the racket?
