Driftwood, thanks for backing me up on the existence of an old model Vaquero. Feel free to refer to them as the "original " Vaqueros, but any aftermarket manufacturer making stuff for Ruger SA's, especially grips, lists them as old model Vaquero. The original (old) model Vaquero was offered in 44 Magnum, which the NM Vaquero is not. 44 magnum lets you use a wide variety of ammo from 44 magnum cowboy loads to the fastest 300 grain hardcast. And you can still buy 44 Magnum, unlike most auto pistol calibers.
