My hands have lost too much strength, my kimber 1911

Just thinking and figured I would bring it to the board

without looking myself, thank you !!!

Thank you !

The new ones won't handle the high pressure loads, but I bet you don't care. Lol

Are the older ones considered better?

Yep, I love the looks of the vaquero but I shoot my blackhawk better.

The guy in the second post on this thread explains it pretty well.

This thread got me looking at what a Colt SAA cost now, $3,000!

I have two of those ivory handles. The both shoot very very good.

I have 3 sets of vaqueros ( 2sets new style / 1set old style)and love them all. First thing I do after I buy a set without firing a shot through them is ship them off to get a full action job by an experienced sass gunsmith. My main match set I shot most of my matches with I would put 4 to 6k rounds a year through them counting matches and practice. Never in all that time did I have one single mechanical failure! Ruger makes a quality product!!
