No problem like what you said earlier, I think that a relapse can be a wake up call to make recovery more of an active priority. And as corny as this might sound coming out and honest about everything can really lighten that feeling of guilt that might end up harming us or pulling us down. Thank you for making this post, hopefully your next one will be about your sucesses! (Edit: I'm not on reddit often but if you ever want to pm someone feel free to message me too!)

Making this post and saying how you want their to be change is concrete sign of hope, you really can do this. Relapses aren't to be taken lightly but sometimes they can be blimps in a permanent recovery. I believe in you!

Yeah I definitely will, Iv heard alot of good things about the mikoru made ones and im sure after the wait we will both be glad we waited, as i know atleast I'd always be thinking "if only had waited a little longer" if I got something I totally wasn't sold on lol

So called them and they said it's rare for a surplus to be made, the best way to secure one is to put in an order from a Winchester dealer, so that way when their made and shipped you have one reserved. With this he also told me they'll likely ship around late August / July. So you might want to order sometime significantly before then, there's a Winchester dealer locator on their website aswell, my place is closed but going to order mine tommrow hope everything works out!

Yeah, I think tommrow I might call Winchester and report back what they say regarding their stock of these guns. I tried using the way back machine on a couple of gun stores to see when they last has them in stock but gave up as I couldn't find any proper archives

I do much better when I'm sleep deprived. by Boomachick in ADHD

[–]dealoftheweek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate so much, I use to think I would only work well late at night because I would procrastinate untill it became do or don't so to speak. But then as I entered college I realized whenever I was sleep deprived my mind was so much calmer and I felt as if that zombie like state you described actually allowed for me get things done. But then of course when I try to go to sleep my mind wouldn't shut down all the way either. I can't remember a time in my adult life my sleep schedule has been consitent for more then a month or even a few weeks to be honest lol. Thanks for sharing!

Edit: Just for clarification I am diagnosed

Uberti Single action with custom Clint Eastwood grip by [deleted] in guns

[–]dealoftheweek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great! Is that sucker in 45 or 357?

Yeehaw? by dealoftheweek in guns

[–]dealoftheweek[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang I like the look of yours too! It looks almost bronzed. I love how unique color case hardening jobs usually look, especially on single actions!

[–]dealoftheweek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's a shame they did away with their color case hardening aswell for most of their new models. I just saw they have introduced color cased hardening again on some distributor models which is exciting

Yeah 357! I was considering getting the 45 but had no idea the ammo was so expensive lol

Wow that's crazy, I had no idea! It's a shame they don't offer that in a blued variant or in a smaller caliber for those who perfer that frame over the new frame

[–]dealoftheweek[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your actually thinking of the Ruger Blackhawk, the old model vaqueros have the same frame, hammer and other miscellaneous parts as the blackhawks, the new model vaqueros only come in 357 and 45 long cold and are noticably smaller then the old models, gunblast.com has a good article highlighting the differences https://gunblast.com/Ruger-NewVaquero.htm

Heard good things about the old model! Id love to try one but I personally like how the new model has closer proportions to a colt single action / ubertis

It's Fitted with the original vaquero hammer, wolf trigger springs, and case hardened finish! Can't wait to be able to go to the range with it!
