Nomercy, I'm sure there's a cowboy group around there somewhere....I did som cowboy shooting a few years ago and among the rules was the shotgun can't have ejectors.....extractors is fine however...the revolver can't have adjustable sights....buy many clubs overlook that rule...

The Vaquero is a fine gun but stay with the .44 Mag and forget the .45 LC You have a fine leveraction rifle in .44 Mag....stay with it.

The .45 LC always bothers me in that there's so many replicas that can't handle the hi pressure loads that the Ruger can.....

I believe it's advisable for a cowboy shooter to have two revolvers as well..if you decide to buy a pair of colt clones.....go with Uberti only.....I've had very poor luck with (especially) EMF

Have a Ball!!
