But, Im in agreement with Gary. If I wanted 44 Magnum or 45 Colt 30,000 psi, Id send it in for a five shot conversion.

I've never heard of a failure though. Sure Ruger wouldn't put an unsafe gun out there. But, like rechambering the Redhawk 45 Colts to 454 Casull, it's just not on my agenda.

New Vaqueros are in 44 magnum too? - steve todd, 2018-09-11, 19:10
- .44 mag Vaquero - David R, 2018-09-12, 10:36

        Agreed, but they still show them on the Ruger website (nm) - Amede, 2018-09-12, 12:45
        that is a limited issue gun for Talo, built from existing - Gary Reeder, 2018-09-12, 14:39
        Gary, What about 41 mag in those new frames? (nm) - Amede, 2018-09-12, 13:23
        the 41 Mag is no problem in the New Vaquero but - Gary Reeder, 2018-09-12, 14:46

        Ya, that’s why i cant wrap my head around 44mag pressure. (nm) - steve todd, 2018-09-12, 11:31
