The New Vaquero 05107 configuration pairs a 4.62 inch barrel with a six-shot fluted cylinder, delivering a balanced, quick-handling single-action revolver. The alloy-steel construction wears a uniform blued finish, while the hammer and trigger are left in the white for a classic contrast.
Ruger’s reverse-indexing pawl precisely times cylinder rotation for clean alignment at the loading gate. The cylinder features counterbored chamber mouths at the front. An ejector housing with a crescent-style ejector rod head supports smooth case extraction.
Controls and sights are straightforward and robust. The revolver uses fixed sights with a tall blued blade up front and an integral topstrap groove at the rear. The spurred hammer provides positive cocking, and the transfer-bar safety is standard for secure carry.
The XR-3-style mid-size grip frame is fitted with smooth ivory-color synthetic panels bearing Ruger eagle medallions. Chambering is .357 Magnum with the ability to fire .38 Special, supported by a 1:16 inch right-hand twist. Overall length is approximately 10.25 inches, with an approximate weight of 43 ounces.
