.45 Colt RUGER VAQUERO S.A.S.S. Editions [On The Range]

[@abee.s.corpus2455]

Your "shooter's perspective" really demonstrates the concept of "smoke obscured targets". Well done.

[@JEDiTV]

Absolutely! Thanks for the comment Abe E.S. Corpus. -Jed 🤠

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Always great to see you smash steel and make smoke, Jedi.

Last week I got to hold a pair of Vaqueros in 45 Colt, sequential numbers, they belong to Paul Harrell. I am concerned about saying they are a bucket list item.

[@JEDiTV]

Sounds like an awesome pair!

[@ViaAvione]

Great Camera Angles! Really makes a difference! Thank you for sharing

[@JEDiTV]

You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed it. -Jed 🤠

I love my 45 colt ruger new vaqueros. Tough, reliable and fun

[@JEDiTV]

I’m certainly looking to add a set to my armory. -Jed 🤠

Several comments on this one, Jed. #1 : Nice addition of superchargers and afterburners on your lawn horse. Back when I was a young whippersnapper like yourself, I mowed about 5 acres. Sure wish I'd had one like yours way back then. #2 : Black powder smoke seems to operate like campfire smoke. Doesn't matter where you stand, the smoke always blows in your face. #3 : The reason that Rick O'Shea fellow is so fast, when loading his ammo, he forgot to put any smoke in there. Sneaky way to see the targets. #4 : I really like the "reduced reach" of the hammers on your new Vaqueros. Surprised someone doesn't make aftermarket hammers for the '51 Colts, etc. Fun video, thanks Jed.

[@JEDiTV]

#1 - I bought that when I moved to this place. Figured I’d save a lot of time over using the “walk behind” mower. Still gotta use that old one for under some of the trees and such. But, the riding mower sure does speed things up. #2 - So true! #3 - 😆 I sure do hope he reads this! #4 - I’ve seen custom hammers made for the 51’s. Had a pard offer to do mine. But, I really think it messes up the lines on the 51’s. I pretty partial to how they look stock. Yeah, a little longer reach but sometimes ya gotta sacrifice speed for style. Right? 😊 Thanks for the comment!

man a couple of time it looked like you were turning a prickly pear burner on the targets. LOVED IT!

[@dorisjohnson8857]

Dear Jed: Do you have or know of a video on how you clean your Vaqueros after shooting black powder you could reference? If not would you consider doing one specifically on the vaquero and black powder? Thanks for the great video. Doris

[@JEDiTV]

I have a Black Powder cleaning video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4HdfmiQitB5fqM If ya need one specifically on the Vaquero let me know and I’ll see what I can work up. -Jed 🤠

[@dorisjohnson8857]

@@JEDiTV i recently acquired a Vaquero (stainless, original model, 45 Colt) I am familiar with takedown and BP cleaning of Colt SAA and C&B percussions and Remington 1858 NMA percussion but not the Vaqueros, so a dedicated Vaquero take down and clean after black powder would be great.👍

[@abee.s.corpus2455]

In the "for what it's worth" category, here's my cleaning regimen for my New Vaqueros after shooting Goex black powder or APP black powder substitute: Pull the base pins and remove the cylinders. Using a small spray bottle filled with "moose milk" (Ballistol and water; a friend prefers Ballistol and isopropyl alcohol), spray the bore, chambers, the cylinder window and the exterior surfaces. Let the revolver sit while you clean rifle and shotgun. Wipe off all surfaces and run a patch through the bore and the chambers. Done.

[@davidhruska9643]

I like the views from behind silver and gold. Nice match. Great video.

[@JEDiTV]

Thanks David. 👍

[@sixshootertexan]

You mow like me in nice straight lines. I just wish I shot as good as you. I did my first totally clean match today.

[@JEDiTV]

Yeah, I like the way the lawn looks with just nice straight lines all the way across the yard. Congratulations on that clean match! -Jed 🤠

[@nofotomojo]

Congrats on the clean match. I find them pretty elusive!!!

[@deanmacka4975]

Great stuff mate 👍

[@JEDiTV]

Thank you. -Jed 🤠

[@andrewpinheiro7202]

Good job man that looks really fun I’ve never tried cowboy action shooting before think I might have to look into it a little more

[@JEDiTV]

Thanks, I appreciate the comment and would encourage you to find a local club and check it out. I’ve found the people in this sport to be welcoming and friendly.

[@Larry--qn4dd]

Awesome pair of vaqueros, great vid ! Had one of the first models years ago, but traded it . I prefer my 1873 cattleman, I've carried it for pushing 30 years now.

[@JEDiTV]

Thanks. It took me a while to get a pair of Rugers for the sport, but I’m happy I did. I don’t use ‘em all the time, but it’s nice to have ‘em! -Jed 🤠

[@skipjack1952]

Well that certainly is a nice pair of Ruger revolvers I guess that’s all I can say

[@JEDiTV]

‘Nuff said. 🤠

[@cal9064]

Somehow, I get the feeling that a pair of those .45 Colt Vaqueros are going to be finding a permanent home on your gun wall. Fun shootin', ain't they?

[@JEDiTV]

It’s inevitable. -Jed 🤠

[@barryturner3152]

Kook is gunna see you doin her yard work😎

[@JEDiTV]

🤫 Maybe she isn’t watching. Wait a minute! She better be watching!! 😂 -Jed 🤠

[@abrampl]

Jed, question. Can you explain, maybe you have idea how to prevent snake bores? The plastic wads (I can get fiocchi ones) are melted with black powder ... and cleaning is difficult ... I will try use to use baking paper for shot cups ...

[@JEDiTV]

I have no problem using plastic wads. The plastic coating comes out with one pull of my bore snake. Just let is soak for a bit. I go over my cleaning method here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4HdfmiQitB5fqM Hope that helps!

[@abrampl]

@@JEDiTV yep it works, but I'm lazy bastard so I need keep it simple :D

[@lessage760]

great shooting enjoyed it while you worked sir

[@JEDiTV]

Thanks! That was the idea 👍 -Jed 🤠

[@tomfavre669]

Good One. Looks like we have the same mowin horse. LOL

[@abrampl]

Yes. I found that pieta or uberti single action colt clones are fine. But RUGERS, I will collect money for rugers. It will take time but ... for me it will be the best option.

[@JEDiTV]

The Rugers are fantastic revolvers. But, I'm kinda partial to the Italian clones as well. -Jed 🤠

[@halfcirclehranch6877]

Used to seeing you mowing down poppers with a shotgun, but not just mowing. :)

[@JEDiTV]

I’m pretty lucky in that I only have to do it 3 weeks out of the month. Kook comes up and takes care of the lawn one week a month for us. It’s something she’s liked to do since she was a kid and now, with the riding mower, she really enjoys it. -Jed 🤠
