This example is the original large-frame Ruger Vaquero (pre-2005), valued for its robust build and early production date. Manufactured in 1995, it delivers the classic single-action experience in .44-40 Winchester with a fluted six-shot cylinder.
The 7.5 inch Cavalry-length barrel and fixed sights—half-moon front blade and topstrap groove rear—offer a traditional sight picture consistent with the Vaquero’s Old West styling and purpose.
Construction is all-steel with a blued barrel and cylinder matched to a color-case-style frame. Smooth walnut grips with Ruger silver-eagle medallions and a crescent ejector-rod head provide the correct look and feel.
It uses a single-action mechanism with a transfer-bar safety system and is made in the United States. The overall presentation is clean and well-cared-for, with an excellent, mirror-bright bore.
