Improving a Ruger Vaquero

[Hoof Hearted]

Well the line under GUNSMITHING reads:

"For topics relating to repairing and improving CAS firearms."

Now I am using this gun for my packing pistol, It goes about everywhere I go when horseback. Mending fence, checking cattle, hunting, well you get the drift. Problem was it was replacing my well worn Colt 2nd gen in 45 caliber and I just couldn't warm up to the ejector and the warning label (also the barrel was too long). Then there was the way the action "felt", well it just felt like a Ruger! Of course I thinned the grips in an effort to "improve" that also and as soon as time permits I will CORRECTLY fit some Elk. Then maybe get rid of that Gawd awful attempt to simulate case hardening. But since I feel that I have "improved" this Ruger I suppose this is as good a place as any to post pics!
