Should be interesting when something warranty worthy happens and someone tries to fit a .357 down a .22 hole. I think that might qualify as a little too much innovation. May be getting time to switch brands.

I like my .45 Colt/.45 acp/.44 Special/.44-40/.44 Magnum swap-cylinder Squeeze-Bore much better!

If they had invested just half that much jiberty-jee-hawin' on a five shot .41 mag or .41 special on the GP frame I could have seen buying one but not this .......... I'd rather carry a large bore and a .22 small frame and had BOTH revolvers for the price of El'switcho!

Heh heh heh.... read it closely fellahs.

What were they thinking.....what a waste of time and energy developing that thing. I'm betting its a flop.

[Leadmelter]

Buy one and put it in a Safety Deposit box for 20yrs.

outpost-75 if i'm seeing that right.
your using a 45 colt case in a 44 barrel?

[Gibbs44]

Heh heh heh.... read it closely fellahs.
Yeah, I went back and re-read it.

[petroid]

Ooh...can't wait til a liberal sees this and thinks it should be banned lol

What a good chuckle, I was completely sucked in with a 'sour lemon' face and thinking ***!? I swear that is one of the best I have seen.

Yes. It appears that Ruger didn't change the setup when changing from .45 to .44 Vaquero barrels. I say this because both of my Vaqueros, built two years apart, were cut this way. The forcing cone of my .44 Magnum Super Blackhawk is much tighter, as is my S&W Model 544. While a huge forcing cone might be more forgiving of sloppy timing and loose cylinder lockup in a worn out work gun, it is not the ideal choice for gilt-edged target accuracy. It appears not to affect practical field utility.

The barrel shank is well supported and the large frame Vaquero is not a strength issue, and doesn't lead either. I tried both .45 Blackhawk cylinders (.45 ACP and .45 Colt) for fit in both of my .44-40 and .44 Magnum Vaquero frames. They fit, timed and indexed with acceptable cylinder gap. Cylinder interchangibility combined with generous tolerances entertains interesting fantasies for expedient emergency ammo exploitation after “TEOTWAWKI.”

I was reading and thinking "real??" and then I read this.

" Ruger Director of Engineering and Macro Aggression John McClane "

That spelled it all out.

Designed by John Gault??????

If you missed the John Mclane reference then this should have been a big hint if you are old enough I guess:

According to Ruger's Benny Hill, Executive Director of New Things That Are Hard To Explain and Purveyor of Memorable Catch Phrases, Ruger marketing is taking a very conservative approach when representing the Swuck's capabilities. However, under this interviewer's probative pressures, and with Hill fresh from the Democrat Presidential Debates, he did state that the Swuck would: "...significantly reduce global warming, bring peace in our time, pay all college tuition, set a national minimum wage of $100/hour, and make the top 1% income bracket capitalist pigs pick up the tab for everyone else".

I caught on with the Reardon metal. Funny stuff.

[krems]

Yea I fell for it too. I had to re-read the article.....

[flint45]

Very funny very ugly!!!

[MtGun44]

A glance at that pic should have been enough, it was for me.

No way I'm buying that ridiculous mess as a real gun. Photo shop
kids having fun.

I hope whoever spent so much time on photoshop someday makes it to this board and gets to read some of our responses.
