Re: Poll…Vaquero or Blackhawk
I've not handled or shot a Vaquero I'm leaning Blackhawk!
BROWN LABS MATTER !!
Re: Poll…Vaquero or Blackhawk
I've had a half dozen Blackhawks but only one Vaquero, prefer the adjustable sights purely because I like to tinker with loads.
I would like a New Vaquero (or Uberti) in 45 since I've got an unused Threepersons holster for a SAA.

My Vaquero is a 5 1/2” -44 , had a 6 1/2” Blackhawk , but liked the Vaquero better.
Would like a birdshead , in 357 . Someday .

Re: Poll…Vaquero or Blackhawk
I had a very early production 4.625" Vaquero in .45 many years ago. It was a fime revolver, but it's long gone. I still have a few Blackhawks around. One of which, I had long before the Vaquero.

Re: Poll…Vaquero or Blackhawk
At last count I have 15 Blackhawks and Super Blackhawks and one very fine New Vaquero in .45 Colt with a 4 5/8" barrel. I love 'em all but the unevenness of numbers tells a story.

Re: Poll…Vaquero or Blackhawk
Can I vote for the Super Blackhawk? 
I have handled the Vaquero, but never shot one. I have shot various Blackhawks quite a bit. I can't image the former being even better than the latter.

Re: Poll…Vaquero or Blackhawk
In my case Blackhawk ---
adjustable sights for the win ---- howeveer - i dont actually put a teeny screwdrive to my adjustable sight revolvers that much ------ although i like the idea, i jst dont practice i much - i figure out the kentucky windage and go with it
A Smith fixed sight 65 i have had for about a year --- a bit up and right , but very consistent -- so m thoughts were - thats an exemplary revolver , i'll figure it out

Re: Poll…Vaquero or Blackhawk
Both! I have a pair of original Vaqueros and my dad’s Blackhawk. The Blackhawk with its adjustable sights is easier to accommodate different loads of various weights and power levels. The Vaquero is a little sleeker looking with it’s fixed sights and probably best used with one load that shoots to the sights (or sight filed to a desired load)
