Revolver Mfg suggestions?
So I aim to get my rpal this winter and want to get a cowboy action style revolver. What manufactures do you guys recommend that are good quality and that i won't have to take out a loan for? (Besides Ruger, looking for something a little more traditional.)

Uberti builds some nice revolvers, but I really like the Ruger Vaquero.

Ruger it is...
Travelled into the future and found this video you made...looks like you settled on a Ruger Vaquero afterall.

This is the one I have with the same rosewood grips, but in the VERY non-traditional 357magnum...just wanted one to match my 686.

Ive owned many Ruger Vaqueros
Ive owned several Uberti Cattleman revolvers
I liked them. They always functioned properly.
But I prefer a Colt.

I guess, but I imagine a Colt would cost quite few pesos more right?

About 2000 more. Yup.
But there is nothing wrong with the rugers or ubertis at all. Great guns

I don't have any cowboy guns, but I do own a couple Ruger revolvers, a S&W, and one Colt. Take the loan out and get a Colt. You just cannot believe the quality and action on these. Barring that, go with Cat's suggestion.
But oh the Lord, those Colts are damn fine pistols.

I've got a Vaquero and it seems to be a fine gun.
