Ruger Vaquero 45 Colt 5.5" 6rd Revolver

The Ruger Vaquero has the size, look and feel of the original Old West single action, built on Ruger's medium steel frame. This one is the classic setup: 45 Colt, a 5.5" cold hammer forged barrel and a 6 round cylinder, all in blued steel with hardwood grips. The traditional western style grip is one of the most natural pointing shapes ever put on a handgun.

Ruger modernized the parts you cannot see. The patented transfer bar mechanism and loading gate interlock guard against an accidental discharge. A reverse indexing pawl makes loading and unloading easier, and the beveled cylinder slides into a holster cleanly. The larger crescent shaped ejector rod head keeps the period look. Sights are a blade front and an integral rear notch, fixed and tough. At 40 oz and 11.12" overall it is a natural for cowboy action matches, a ranch gun, or anyone who wants a 45 Colt single action that can take hard use. A case and lock are included.
