The Ruger Vaquero is a quintessential single-action revolver that combines the nostalgic appeal of the Old West with modern engineering and materials. Its design and features make it a favorite among cowboy action shooters and single-action enthusiasts.
Key Features:
- Old West Aesthetics: The Ruger Vaquero is designed to resemble the classic single-action revolvers of the late 1800s, offering an authentic Old West look and feel.
- Mid-Size Steel Frame: The frame and cylinder are scaled-down to match the size of the original 1955 Ruger Blackhawk, providing a traditional handling experience.
- Steel Grip Frame: The pre-1962 “XR-3” style grip frame, paired with rosewood grip panels, enhances the revolver’s classic appearance and feel.
- Reverse Indexing Pawl: This patented feature allows for easier loading and unloading of the cylinder.
- Traditional Beveled Cylinder: Simplifies holstering and adds to the revolver’s vintage look.
- Transfer Bar Mechanism: Patented by Ruger, this mechanism, along with the loading gate interlock, offers an added layer of safety by preventing accidental discharges.
