I have a Taurus Gaucho case hardened model in .357. I like the gun, trigger and hammer are real smooth. Looks and feels like a Colt. I also have a Ruger Bisley Vaq in .45LC, Which is another fine gun. I have shot both informally in my yard at cans and such. Now I plan to do some serious target shooting with and without a bench rest. At 50 feet,100 feet and twenty five yards etc. And see what happens. Both will hit a beer can from the hip on a fast draw. At close range that is. Now I want to check out POA at various distances. I will post my results for both guns. ~JJ~

I haven't had a chance to go out back and test fire both the Ruger Bisley Vaq & the Taurus Guacho yet. After reading some of the cowboy threads I am curious as to just how accurate these two fixed sight guns are. I picked up some hand gun targets for various distances and plan to find out. Up until now I just plinked at cans and bottles at close range. Not a very good way to judge accuracy. So, now I will stop messing around and actually see how they do. According to the post I have read, most of these are way off POA. High or low, right or left and so on. It will be interesting.
I will post my results. ~JJ~

Hmmm?
Most report the Italian Beretta is far and away superior to the Brazilian Gaucho.

I want to say that the "Gauchos" never used any kind of firearms...
The factory, present the gun just like the best friend of the Pampa´s gauchos"...
The gauchos of the Pampas, used the knife like weapon...
The gauchos never used Single Action Revolvers on his belts like the cowboys...
The firearms were so expensive in the XIX century and no was made this kind of guns in Argentina, Uruguay or Brazil in these times... This kinds of guns were imported by particulars guns shopp and in small numbers... Only a few had posibility of buy a new gun, in a few shops, like "la Porteña", "Pedro Wörns", and "Casa Razetti", in Buenos Aires, and the almost guns that were imported, became from, Germany, Belgium, france and Spain, it is most possible to find a civilian "Luger" or "Mauser", pistol, that a Colt S.A. Revolver. And were imported a lot of S&W 44 Russian, more than Colts Revolvers.....

a gunsmith and dealer told me the ubertis and the rugers were junk...well not junk but when it comes to cowboy shooting the gaucho is the way to go. i think they're a little cheaper too. not sure about that one though. my uncle has a gaucho in 45lc. definitely fun to shoot. and shoots good too at about 25 yards. dont know how it shoots past that. but i'd definitely buy the taraus if i was buying one.
