*SOLD* Ruger Vaquero .357 Mag Blue 5 1/2" *FANTASTIC SINGLE-ACTION COWBOY SIDEARM*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis

The Ruger Vaquero is a six-shot single-action revolver manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co. It is based on the New Model Ruger Blackhawk frame and was introduced in 1993. The revolver comes in blued steel, case colored, and a gloss stainless finish. These finishes are available with wood, hard rubber, simulated ivory, or black micarta grips and fixed sights. The demand for a more traditional single-action revolver arose with the popularity of Cowboy Action Shooting. It combines the original Old West single-action look and feel with modern features.

There are two major variants of Vaqueros. The original Vaquero was marketed from 1993 until 2005 and was slightly larger than the Colt Single Action Army. The New Vaquero, which has been produced from 2005 to the present, is closer to the dimensions of the Colt Single Action Army.Both variants of the Vaquero are safe to load all six chambers of the cylinder, thanks to a transfer bar design. Additionally, they permit reloading by simply opening the loading gate, which frees the cylinder to rotate freely without pulling the hammer into the half-cock notch. These initial Vaqueros have only two hammer positions: fully down and fully cocked.
