The Bisley configuration features a more vertical backstrap with a square butt, paired with simulated ivory grips bearing Ruger medallions. Combined with the Bisley hammer spur and Bisley trigger, this setup offers a distinctive feel that many shooters prefer in a traditional single-action format.
Construction is all stainless steel with a high-gloss stainless finish on the frame, barrel, and cylinder. The six-shot fluted cylinder includes beveled leading edges, and the revolver uses Ruger’s standard base-pin latch and a crescent-style ejector rod head for straightforward operation.
Ruger’s reverse-indexing pawl aids precise chamber alignment during loading and unloading, while the transfer-bar safety system supports safe carry and handling in a single-action-only design.
The 5.5 in barrel uses a 1:16 RH twist. Sights are fixed, consisting of a tall front blade and an integral rear groove, matching the revolver’s classic profile and rugged build.
Chambered in .357 Magnum, this revolver also accepts .38 Special ammunition. Overall length is approximately 11.12 in, and weight is approximately 45 oz. Factory case labeling indicates a standard-production Bisley New Vaquero (not Ruger Custom Shop). Manufacturer’s part number is 05130.
