thinking abt a second sa

[sureshot2040]

i have an older model vaquero and i love it
but lately i have been thinking abt a smaller framed shooter
cant decide if i want a new vaquero or a great western 2
it will have to be stainless and will need to have coil springs in it
i saw a gw2 at my local toy store and it felt good but dang it was 649
thats kinda high to me considering i gave 300 for my rv although it was abt ten years ago
i wonder would the gw2 hold up as good as the new vaquero??
which ever i get would be carried alot and shot moderately
but would mostly be spun and twirled to no end
i like the looks and feel of both guns but i hate the hammer contour of the new vaquero
anyways i just thought i would throw this out here to see what kind of response i get
thanks

take a look too at a usfa rodeo. There not a coil spring gun but they are a real nicely built gun and about identical to a colt.

If you plan to twirl or spin that gun much, it is 'New' Vaquero all the way!  I do theatrical gunfights with the Christian Cowboys and there is no gun that handles as good for spinning and tricks as the New Vaquero!  Many guns are available but the wide trigger on the Ruger sits forward enough that you don't get that 'clunk, clunk' as the gun slops from the front to the back of the trigger guard that a colt/clone will do.  Also the wide trigger keeps the gun from canting during spinning.  They have put more weight in the butt and the balance is better than the Colt type guns.  The hammer bugs me too, but it works very well and falls under the thumb naturally.  If you can pick up the guns and handle them next time you go to the gun shop, you will see the Ruger's advantages.  If you are buying it just to shoot, buy whatever you like.  But if you are buying it to spin and do tricks AND shoot, buy the New Vaquero, you'll never regret it!  44 Man
