Built on Ruger's mid-size New XR3 grip frame geometry, this New Vaquero combines traditional single-action handling with modern materials. The frame, cylinder, and receiver are stainless steel with a high-gloss stainless finish. The 6-shot, long-fluted cylinder and crescent-style ejector-rod head reflect the model's classic profile.
The cold hammer-forged 4.62 in barrel uses six-groove rifling with a 1:16 RH twist. Fixed sights include a blade front and an integral rear notch, providing a simple, durable sighting setup. Overall length is 10.25 in, with an approximate weight of 40 oz.
Action features include single-action only operation, a transfer-bar safety, and a loading-gate interlock. Ruger's reverse-indexing pawl system helps align chambers during loading and unloading.
This example was manufactured in 2015 in the USA. It carries Model 5105 (Catalog KNV-44) identification, and the factory case end label lists the model, catalog number, caliber, and High Gloss Stainless finish. Installed carved wood grips with a scroll motif and brass escutcheons add a custom touch, while the original Ruger hardwood grip panels with medallions are included.
