Sweet deal dude

This is an excellent price for one in very good condition. I usually shoot 38 plus P ammo and can carry with 158 grain 357 or 38plus p. There was a thread that 125 grain bullets cracked the forcing cone on these guns, but I think this was disputed, but 158 grain is the way to go. I'd think you would be very happy using 39 plus p ammo.
Heck of a deal, I hope you grabbed themWell I was just told that there is a new deal. His wife decided she wanted to keep the Mini 14 which I was thinking about buying also, and I get the .410 Stoeger, Ruger .357 and the S&W .357 for $500. I really wanted the Mini 14 but this is a great deal and I get 3 of my fathers guns that I wasn't expecting. He passed 15 years ago and they have been in his step sons possession ever since.

I got the guns today and all the extras including the leather/holster pictured below. They are in better shape than the pictures show especially the Ruger (which is a Vaquero not a Blackhawk) and I don't think it's been shot in over 15 years and it's barely broken in. Super stoked!
I have noticed a 3-4 small rust spots though, total across all 3 guns. Does anyone have some advice for knocking those little spots out? I have some Hoppes but haven't tried it yet.

Thanks for the info! The rust is very small so I will try the first method and I'm going to avoid all lighter loads.
You can shoot .38's in it. They are 1/10" shorter and operate at a lot less pressure than .357.I have a question regarding the Ruger Vaquero: Can I shoot .38 Special rounds out of it or just the .357?
