My main match six guns are a pair of Old Model Vaquero Bisley s in .38/.357 case colored with 5-1/2" blue barrels.
I'm told that they were made in 2004 which makes them among the very last of the Old Model s .
I'm lookin' forward to bein' part of the RATS . Where does a certified RAT trade for thier official patch, or badge, or whatever?

Cabalero Chuck:

I recollect you will be RATS #601 (if my memory is working).
The info on getting a RATS badge is one of the first three threads on this forum.

Welcome to our outfit.

Pair of sequentially numbered stainless New Vaqueros in .357.  45/8" Shilen match grade barrels.  Ron Power Colt grip frames.  Ron Power hammer and trigger sets.  Wolfe springs.  Competitive Edge Gunworks custom cylinders.  Buffalo horn grip panels.  Built by Larry Crow of Competitive Edge Gunworks.  These are my main match pistols and other than a lone Colt New Frontier .22 aquired somewhere along the line, Rugers are the only SA's I've ever owned.  First new one was a Blackhawk in .30 Carbine purchased from a local sporting goods store the same year that caliber was introduced.  Got a number for an old RAT?

[Mustang Gregg]

Yep, Sunset Slim.
I'll put you in the RATS system soon.
Welcome!

I don't shoot competition but I do shoot Rugers . . . does that qualify me to be a RAT?

I love my Ruger New Vaquero - have a blued 5 1/2" in 357 that I put a lot of 38 spls. through -  mainly at paper plates, dead pop cans and a woodchuck once in a while - and I love everything about the "old west" . . . . .

When the New Vaquero gets too warm . . . I switch off to my Ruger Super Bearcat . . . one of the older ones and a sweet shooting little SA . . . . .

And if I'm feeling "real macho" . . . . I just might stoke up my Ruger SR9 . . . . .  but still prefer the New Vaquero over everything else . . . .

I'm in southern Arizona during the winter . . . where I concentrate on making gun leather . . . both SA rigs and the more modern semi-auto holsters . . . in the summer, I'm back in Michigan from May thru the end of Sept . . . .

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo . . . does that qualify me to be a RATS???  Thanks!   

[Mustang Gregg]

Yup.
