Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ruger Vaquero is a six-shot single-action revolver manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co. based on the New Model Ruger Blackhawk frame and was introduced in 1993. It comes in blued steel, case colored, and a gloss stainless finish, all of which are available with wood, hard rubber, simulated ivory or black micarta grips, and fixed sights. It arose with the popularity of Cowboy Action Shooting, from which came the demand for a single-action revolver that was more traditional in appearance.
Two major variants of Vaqueros exist. The original Vaquero was marketed from 1993 until 2005 and was slightly larger than the Colt Single Action Army. The New Vaquero, produced from 2005 to the present, is closer to the dimensions of the Colt Single Action Army. Unlike original Single Action Army revolvers, both versions are safe to load all six chambers of the cylinder, having a transfer bar design; additionally, both variants permit reloading by simply opening the loading gate, thereby freeing 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. Three grip variants exist for Vaqueros. The standard grip is very similar to the grip on the original Single Action Army revolver.
The Bisley variant incorporates the target grip that was incorporated on the Bisley variant of the Single Action Army revolver that was intended for target shooting. The Bisley grip is also better suited for users with larger hands, having a longer frame that better fits larger hands. Users with smaller hands may not find the trigger to be comfortable to shoot on Bisley variants, by reason of not being able to place their trigger finger properly on the trigger, the trigger being located farther from the grip. The third variant is the Birdshead grip, similar to the pattern found on the Colt M1877 and M1878 models.
