Tyler Gun Works performed a full action package and exterior enhancements, delivering a tuned single-action-only revolver with distinctive color case-hardening on the frame and loading gate. The blued barrel, cylinder, and ejector-rod housing contrast cleanly with the case colors while preserving the classic New Vaquero profile.
The sighting system is upgraded for practical alignment: a custom dovetailed, drift-adjustable front blade with a set screw sits on a color case-hardened base, and the rear is a custom milled, serrated fixed notch in the topstrap. These TGW modifications are executed to maintain the revolver’s traditional lines while improving sight definition.
Ergonomics and handling receive notable attention. Stag (elk) grip panels with Ruger medallions provide a solid, textured hold, and the oversize knurled Belt Mountain base pin offers positive control during disassembly and reassembly. A scalloped weight-saving feature is incorporated as part of the TGW build.
This dual-cylinder Convertible includes both .357 Magnum and 9mm Luger capability with a 6-round capacity. The 4.62 in barrel, transfer-bar safety, and New Vaquero series configuration keep operation straightforward and familiar. The barrel is marked with the TGW "Tyler Gun Works – Friona, TX" inscription, and the factory label lists Ruger SKU 05161.
