This gun reminds me of my Grandfather. I asked him if he could buy me a handgun to keep at his place and just shoot it when I came down to the farm. He told me he would and shook my hand, then went out the door to get it. I was so stoked. I thought he was going to come back with a Ruger SR9 or Glock....something modern, but wouldn't break the bank. But no, he comes back with this gun chambered in .22. I was so bummed, but we ended up having tons of fun and quality time. I would give anything to put just one more round down range with him.
Nate Rivera I have a hi standard victor 22 target pistol from my grandpa and it's one of my favorites. also got a few others from him. he bought some and also gave all his reloading equipment to me. I wish I had the chance to ever shoot with him.
I have my dads single six from 1963 and Ruger installed the transfer bar and went through it and re blued it for FREE! Also I have a Blackhawk in 38/357/9mm.... love it. But I did sell that very gun , the vaquero in 38/357 last month. I never shot it. A safe queen ya might say. Enjoy that beauty and Ruger has great customer service. I can't say that enough.
Tuco: But if you miss you had better miss very well. Whoever double-crosses me and leaves me alive, he understands nothing about Tuco. Nothing! The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
I got a Ruger Blackhawk .357 mag in the late 70's which I still have and love, but I got it because you could it use "Hot" loads if you needed them. They are built like tanks.
I love these single action revolvers. They are so much more fun than other guns when playing at the gun range. If it was legal to carry in Canada I sure would carry this gun for self defence.
The Ruger Single Six is awesome! I've got one that sadly doesn't include the magnum barrel, as I inherited it from my father, and haven't felt the urge to pay the charge to get Ruger to fit a replacement cylinder in it.
My last impulse buy was $650 and that old pre safety JM Marlin 1894 .44 Mag was well worth it. Bluing was near perfect and wood was original and in excellent condition. Always wanted one, back when they were going for $450-$500 used, I passed on a lot of them but they seem to keep climbing, some reaching the $1k mark. Gun I bought a month before that one was a Benelli SBE II and I definitely didn't think I was buying anything when I walked in. It was on sale, $1350 for a camo one and I couldn't pass that up either lmao. It's a sickness I tell ya
I like revolvers, but my love for them isn't as strong as it use to be, since I had a cylinder blow up while shooting one. luckily I just got a few little chunks of metal in my thumb and nothing worse.
I don't own any firearms (yet), but I did a few months ago buy an Umarex SAA pellet gun. Its licensed by Colt and the same size specifications as a real SAA. I never knew how large of a gun it is. It makes my average sized hands feel like baby hands lol
Oh man, so you've got the bug too! A couple days ago I was looking into getting a Uberti Cattleman El Patron (another Single Action Army clone). But then I thought- No, I'd rather save up for the SHTF .50BMG AR15 upper. A five shot bolt action .50BMG for just under two grand just seems much more practical. I am of the opinion that every good American should own at least one anti-material rifle ;) Sadly the cowboy pistol will just have to wait in my case.
Those are extremely popular here in Connecticut. That and colt single action army revolvers as the factory is like 25 min away from hartford. But single action revolvers sell pretty well here. that one, the vaquero, and blackhawk are all popular here.
Do not put pearl grips on that gun. Stag grips would be a big improvement, Ivory would be great (although you'd probably have to buy faux ivory) but no pearl.
2 reasons one so I can shoot 38's cheaper and second because I already shoot and stock 357 so the idea of having less calibers to buy and stock is easier for me...so versatility I guess
As far as speed,I have seen many videos that prove the old style single action pistols can fire faster(three consecutive rounds fired) than contemporary 1911's. Still I would not own a gun that did not have both single and double action capabilities,purely for the fact I do not like being limited in options. They do make "Cowboy" type pistols that are single/double action but these tend to be very pricey and I am one cheap bastard!
I had the ruger old army cap n ball the ruger vequero 357 mag and the ruger blackhawk in 41 mag loved them all regret getting rid of all of them .. I want the blackhawk in 45lc
Any Ruger chambered in .357 will tolerate all the powerful .357 cartridges. The shortcoming is that this is a single action revolver. It is not a 'double action' gun and a GP100 and similar Rugers can be cocked both ways (single action and double action. The .357 chambered guns will fire .38+P shells, which are plenty to stop nearly any attacker and are more controllable than a .357 shell.
ayee nice pistol there partner I live in Texas an carry a revolver but only because I like wheel guns an how reliable they are I shouldn't need 16 rounds
I love you, Jeff, but in my humble opinion, single action revolvers are not viable options for home defense, regardless of what they are chambered for. The cool factor is off the charts... but you would be putting yourself at a huge disadvantage in relying on one for home defense over a modern semi-auto.
I have 2 Vaquero's in 45 colt and a super blackhawk in 44 mag and your right they would not be my first or best defensive gun but would get the job done if need be? also look into seeing if you can get the 9mm cylinder for the vaquero? i know you can for the blackhawk it would make it much cheaper to shoot.
no favorites but blazing saddles makes me giggle every time I see it...Im not really into westerns per say but if I stumble across one I do enjoy them...
Aidan McNerney if going for a live blade get a bear and sons for the 50 to 100 usd range or a bear ops for the 100 to 150 usd range. I assume you won't pay more than 150 usd if you are a beginner but if you do then most knives over 200 usd are good. I would suggest you go with a live blade because you learn quicker. If going for a trainer, go for a trainer model of the knives I mentioned. P.S. go with at least a 5 inch blade because you can't manipulate a 4 inch balisong as well. Also dont spend less than 50 usd on a balisong, anything cheaper is usually crap.
now this is a cool gun I shot a 45 Cal that had a similar cowboy look hurt my hand lol although i don't think it will ever be illegal because of the looks although guns with smaller calibers Will probably be illegal first because of looks lol knife and gun laws never make any sense
Jeff's the only guy who would put up a vid of a whole slew of fidget spinners and then follow it up with this
I love shooting loads
Richard Incandela Unfortunately, you don't have a catcher.
Richard Incandela hot loads only.
hehe He Said "hot load".

Damn it! I need to grow up and stop giggling.
REVALG reminds ya of ur man dont it???haha open wide and say ahh daddys home lmfao

This gun reminds me of my Grandfather. I asked him if he could buy me a handgun to keep at his place and just shoot it when I came down to the farm.

The important thing isnt if you are happy, the important part is that your wife is happy! 😂😂
when i read the title i was hoping you bought a ten gallon hat and wanted to start wearing it constantly
I have one in 45 Colt. You're right it is not practical but it is certainly fun!
The 3 Amigos is an American Classic
That gun is a good home defense gun. Good woods gun, good camping gun, good everything gun.
I have my dads single six from 1963 and Ruger installed the transfer bar and went through it and re blued it for FREE! Also I have a Blackhawk in 38/357/9mm.... love it. But I did sell that very gun , the vaquero in 38/357 last month. I never shot it. A safe queen ya might say. Enjoy that beauty and Ruger has great customer service. I can't say that enough.
Stainless and pearl looks absolutely fantastic!
Agreed. I have the exact same model and caliber and love it. Good choice.
I bought the same one about a year ago to but in 45LC. Same here, just always wanted one. Love it!
Tuco: But if you miss you had better miss very well. Whoever double-crosses me and leaves me alive, he understands nothing about Tuco. Nothing!

Love that smooth clickety sound when you spin the cylinder...just sounds like quality
You didn't buy this while your wife was at the dentist? Can't believe it.
lol no not this time
yeah those old west style guns are a must collect to any gun collector. next u should look into getting flint locks and percussion caps.
The Duke would be proud.
The Ruger Single Six is awesome! I've got one that sadly doesn't include the magnum barrel, as I inherited it from my father, and haven't felt the urge to pay the charge to get Ruger to fit a replacement cylinder in it.
white grips. the people want white grips!

That is a gorgeous gun. gotta love a Ruger.
love revolvers, love that gun . definite bucket list gun
Awesome dude. So cool
I love your videos on knives and guns, gives me a good idea of new things and products I can buy
Love the new addition Jeff!
I like revolvers, but my love for them isn't as strong as it use to be, since I had a cylinder blow up while shooting one. luckily I just got a few little chunks of metal in my thumb and nothing worse.

Beautiful Revolver! :)
I prefer the blued version to the chrome but I'd be happy with it.
Oh man, so you've got the bug too! A couple days ago I was looking into getting a Uberti Cattleman El Patron (another Single Action Army clone).

i in fact have been told i have hot powerful loads
hayse wilkie that girl in your pic looks like she can take a hot load
hayse wilkie really.... Prove it!
Wow that gun is beautiful. Looks like Rick Grimes' gun in the Walking Dead!
SevereTstormFan ricks gun is a colt Python very different
I still have a Bisley from 1986 in original box, probably has less than 50 rounds. Fun Ruger
I'm not even a big hand gun fan (swords and knives for me baby) but a nice mexican style pistol with some ivory and pearl oh man gotta get one someday
I already owned a GP100 in .357, after watching the Magnificent Seven remake it wasn't long before I also owned a new Blackhawk in .357!
Video idea I think many subs (myself included) would enjoy: The short list of guns you want to buy and why
Fantastic Revolver!!! WOW!! :D
Nice, I have the Old Vaquero Talo version Birdshead grip 45 Long Colt and 45ACP....
beautiful pistol, Be careful with the Hot loads.
Those are extremely popular here in Connecticut. That and colt single action army revolvers as the factory is like 25 min away from hartford. But single action revolvers sell pretty well here. that one, the vaquero, and blackhawk are all popular here.
Man!!! That's a sweet piece bro!!! :-D
"My mistake,four coffins!"
Love all your vids Jeff but the story times are the best
Do not put pearl grips on that gun. Stag grips would be a big improvement, Ivory would be great (although you'd probably have to buy faux ivory) but no pearl.
I love the Vaquero!
why 357 and not 45 colt?
2 reasons one so I can shoot 38's cheaper and second because I already shoot and stock 357 so the idea of having less calibers to buy and stock is easier for me...so versatility I guess
good enough reason
As far as speed,I have seen many videos that prove the old style single action pistols can fire faster(three consecutive rounds fired) than contemporary 1911's.

I had a .22 version of this gun when I was in the gun club in my city.
Yeehaw! That thing is cool, I've always wanted one.
what a beautiful looking weapon
if you like colt single actions check out Uberti El patron
OmahaAtheist Amen I love the heck outta my 5 1/2 inch 357 uberti el patron
what in tarnation
キティニャー wot in obliteration?
Cyrus Yousefian who is devastation
Alright, time for an edc adjustment with these bad boy 😂
Watching the 'Thre Amigos' is the reason I do most stuff really...
lol cutlerylover is now the fidget spinner master
Hi Jeff,
That's a beautiful gun. Revolvers aren't really my thing, but I like this one! :D
Duane
Jeff that's awesome!
I had the ruger old army cap n ball the ruger vequero 357 mag and the ruger blackhawk in 41 mag loved them all regret getting rid of all of them .. I want the blackhawk in 45lc
5:22 "If you have a really hot load." hahahahah
hey jeff, I have the same gun in a bigger caliber. havent shot it yet, kinda a collectors puiece
Jeff! Your videos aren't showing up in my subscriptions, anymore! I can't figure out why. Anyone have any ideas as to why they aren't?
Any Ruger chambered in .357 will tolerate all the powerful .357 cartridges. The shortcoming is that this is a single action revolver.

rob a stage coach with that
I want the Redhawk!
Looks like awesome fun even if you aren't going to carry it. I'd shoot it a lot.
Thats funny i bought the same gun 7 months ago!
no historic value btw and also cannot slap shoot it due to transfer bar just so ya kno
That was probably a bad decision talking about "really hot loads" looking at these comments that is confirmed every second comment hehehe
ayee nice pistol there partner I live in Texas an carry a revolver but only because I like wheel guns an how reliable they are I shouldn't need 16 rounds
You shouldn't need any. But if you do, 6 might not be enough.
+raphael beinhauer practice makes perfect as they say if you're familiar with your gun n how it shoots you shouldn't miss even under stress
+TheKRiddler If you practice like delta force, sure...
Very nice!
I love you, Jeff, but in my humble opinion, single action revolvers are not viable options for home defense, regardless of what they are chambered for. The cool factor is off the charts... but you would be putting yourself at a huge disadvantage in relying on one for home defense over a modern semi-auto.
make a vid of you playing russian roulette
Do you own any black powder revolvers? They are extremely fun although slow on the reload. I have an 1858 Remington reproduction and I love it.
Nice! You have to do a cowboy video
I have 2 Vaquero's in 45 colt and a super blackhawk in 44 mag and your right they would not be my first or best defensive gun but would get the job done if need be?
also look into seeing if you can get the 9mm cylinder for the vaquero? i know you can for the blackhawk it would make it much cheaper to shoot.
looks so nice.
I've seen people fire them off like an UZi!
What's your favorite western movie?
no favorites but blazing saddles makes me giggle every time I see it...Im not really into westerns per say but if I stumble across one I do enjoy them...
my dad just bought that same exact gun but the older one
Does he also shoot hot loads?
Dope gun
I love revolvers...Jeff that is one sexy gun!! How much did yoju pay for it, if you don't mind?
yeah do an update
Did you fan the hammer at least once?
Watch Clint Eastwood westerns then go out shooting. " WOOWOOOWoo WaH Wah Wahhhh...."
What is the best balisong for the price for beginners
Aidan McNerney if going for a live blade get a bear and sons for the 50 to 100 usd range or a bear ops for the 100 to 150 usd range.

Also dont spend less than 50 usd on a balisong, anything cheaper is usually crap.
but....
....can you fan it?
Nice 6 shooter 😎💈💈😎
now this is a cool gun
I shot a 45 Cal that had a similar cowboy look hurt my hand lol
although i don't think it will ever be illegal because of the looks although guns with smaller calibers Will probably be illegal first because of looks
lol knife and gun laws never make any sense
Wicked nice!
what's your .357 dbl action home defense gun?
Better than the spinners 😭
Why don't you make your own ammo?
why is he unable of saying revolver
No .44 Magnum? :O
Not that it's anybody's business but why doesn't Christina want to be on camera?
Why is everyone talking about hot loads?
dont play with it to hard it might go bang
