The Dream Cowboy Setup!!!

[Lucas]

I'm sure that some of you have yours already,  but here is mine!  I've been thinkin about it for years now, and finally came up with my perfect setup.

Ruger Vaquero .357  4 5/8" (right hip)
Taurus Gaucho .357  7 1/2" (left hip cross-draw)
Puma M92 .357 (sling over shoulder)
Stoeger 12GA Coach Gun Supreme (in my grubby little hands)


Well thats mine!  Lets see what you got!

Ohh,  and how could I forget?

My 12" Jim Bowie!

I guess I don't get out much, this is the first I've heard of the Taurus Gaucho.  Nice looking gun!
I've been wanting the Ruger in .45, but after talking my wife into switching to .357's, well, that Taurus might work.
Why one Ruger and one Taurus?
I was thinking of one of the short barrel Sheriffs models for the cross draw.

Well My wife and I are just getting in to cowboy shooting.  We went with Two Vaqueros in 5 1/2" no cross draw , A puma M92 in .357 and a 97 clone.  No knife at this time but I have one I made some time back thet I will fit in some time.

Ruger doesnt make a .357 in a 7 1/2"(that I know of),  the shorter Ruger on my right for quick draw, and the longer Taurus on my left for a little range!

Blackhawk, 7 5/8ths

Oops I know better!  Tom, should have known you would be the one to correct me!  So I will take my time and explain myself without loopholes   Ruger doesnt make a Vaquero in .357 thats longer than 5 1/2,  that I know of

Right off the web page.


The New Vaquero family includes both "color-case" blued, stainless steel, and engraved models in .357 Magnum and .45 Colt calibers, with barrel lengths of 4 5/8", 5 1/2", and 7 1/2". Ruger's proprietary "color case" finish replicates the mottled "case hardening" found on older guns to harden their softer steels, which is not necessary with the modern, tough steels used in all Ruger revolvers.

Hope this clears up things.

I looked at all the models and they are only making the 7 1/2 for the .45 right now.  In all honesty however I would rather have a Ruger any day!!!

Sounds like my choices, except for two things:

I'd try the .357 Beretta (though Vaqueros would be nice), and my holsters would be southpaw oriented.
