>uberti 1873>ruger vaquero>taurus deputy>uberti 1875Which of these would be the best bang for buck to larp as a cowboy with a companion 1873 winchester in .45 colt? Im not looking for period accuracy or anything like that, obviously since im getting .45 colt and not .44-40 but whichever is the "best" out of them
>>64635096>uberti 1873I have this gun unlike the others; it emulates an original SAA quite nicely save for the firing pin retraction safety they put on it (I had it replaced with a regular hammer and trigger later on due to personal taste). Shoots well, looks good, takes about 50 (44/40) blackpowder cartridges before I need to cleanse it from the fouling. Be sure to keep an eye on the screws or apply some blue Loctite, because just like the originals, they'll back out in due time.>ruger vaqueroA beefed-up SAA which allows you to shoot hotter loads out of it, though instead of putting the hammer at half-cocked to free the cylinder, you instead open up the loading gate to free it (the cylinder makes no clicks and can be a little weird to reload due to it being more "slick"), and then there's the transfer bar. They have a great reputation and since you do not care for authenticity would make for a great choice.>taurus deputyDon't know much about it other than that it has a transfer bar like the Vaquero and Taurus has been doing better in recent years so perhaps give it a proper look later.>uberti 1875A similar story to the 1873, but with a different body I take it; it's a beauty.I would also recommend looking into Pietta's line since from what I've heard, they have better internals than a Uberti at the cost of not looking as good.
