The Ruger New Vaquero in .45 Colt is a masterful blend of classic Western design and modern engineering, perfect for both collectors and active cowboy action shooters. With a high gloss stainless finish, this revolver offers a striking aesthetic while providing excellent resistance to wear and corrosion. Manufactured in 2005, this piece captures the spirit of the Old West with its traditional, slimmer frame and grip, reminiscent of the iconic Colt Single Action Army revolvers.
In very good condition, this revolver shows only light, superficial signs of prior handling or use, with some scuffing and scratching along the barrel, cylinder, and frame, alongside antler grips that have slight gaps along the frame. The bore condition is excellent, boasting a clean, mirror finish with sharp lands and grooves, ensuring precise accuracy and long-lasting performance.
Included in the sale is the revolver with its unique antler grips, offering a touch of rustic charm. The Ruger New Vaquero is equipped with a cold hammer-forged barrel for ultra-precise rifling, ensuring exceptional accuracy and longevity. Its transfer bar mechanism and loading gate interlock provide a high level of security against accidental discharge—features that make it suitable for self-defense or hunting.
The handsome, larger crescent-shaped ejector rod head adds a traditional form, making it an ideal addition for any cowboy or cowgirl. This revolver not only serves as a reliable firearm but also stands as a homage to the firearms of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, offering modern reliability with a vintage aesthetic.
