This New Vaquero is constructed from stainless steel throughout, including the frame, cylinder, and 4.62 inch barrel, all finished in high-gloss stainless. The barrel is cold hammer-forged with a 1:16 RH twist, providing precise rifling in a durable barrel assembly. Built in the USA in 2019, it blends classic appearance with modern manufacturing.
It uses Ruger’s mid-size frame that approximates Colt SAA dimensions, offering traditional single-action handling with thoughtful refinements. The reverse-indexing pawl system aids alignment for loading and unloading, while beveled cylinder edges and a crescent-profile ejector rod head support smooth operation.
Controls and ergonomics include a smooth, narrow trigger and a wide, serrated spur hammer for confident cocking. Fixed sights consist of a stainless blade front and an integral rear notch, keeping the sight picture simple and rugged.
Chambered in .357 Magnum and accepting .38 Special, this revolver has a 6-round capacity. Overall length is approximately 10.25 inches, with an approximate weight of 43 ounces. Safety features include Ruger’s transfer-bar safety and a loading-gate interlock. Hardwood grips with Ruger medallions complete the classic profile.
