I have had new Vaquero and old Vaquero in .45 Colt. The new Vaquero is the perfect size for me and has better tolerances than the old Vaquero. The Old can shoot "Ruger Only" loads and the New is good to 20k psi which is +P but has shorter cylinder so you can't go beyond bullets that weigh 270 to 280 grains. My next gun will be a .45 Colt Blackhawk which is a beast and can take Ruger Only loads and has adjustable sights and comes in at svelte 39 ounces in the 4.62" model.
