Had the day off today, so I decided to check out the local gun store(So what else is new?). I wanted to look at the Ruger Vaquero(sp) a little closer, and see if I could make up my mind as to which way to go, .45LC or .44Mag. They had a real nice bright stainless 5" w/white simulated ivory grips, priced at $409.00. The salesman informed me that pretty soon, next order in fact, the price was going up to $535.00 suggested list. This really bummed me out, since according to what you guys have said, I'm going to need either 2 Vaquero's in either .45LC or .44Mag, or one Blackhawk in .45LC, since I already have one .45LC BH. I'm sure part of the increase is due to the extra for shipping, and the other part is due to the pending suits. Whatever the reason, it does kinda suck.
