It is widely celebrated for its robust tank-like build, historic aesthetics, and ability to comfortably handle stout loads without the delicate constraints of vintage Colt Single Action Armies.  Key Characteristics & Performance Built Like a Tank: These early Vaqueros are built on the Ruger Blackhawk-sized frame. They easily handle standard .44 Magnum or .44-40 factory loads, though they are slightly less massive than the Super Blackhawk line.  Frame Size: The 1994 iteration is an "Original" or "Old Model" Vaquero. This means it has a heavier, larger frame which many shooters prefer for recoil absorption and for filling larger hands.  The .44-40 Quirk: Users on Canadian Gun Nutz agree that Ruger made the early .44-40s using standard .44 Magnum (.429/.430-inch) barrels rather than traditional .427-inch .44-40 bores. This can cause minor accuracy inconsistencies with factory .44-40 ammo, which typically features .427-inch bullets. Many shooters remedy this by reloading with slightly oversized (.430") hardcast bullets or by having a gunsmith ream the chamber throats. Sights: Like the originals, this model utilizes primitive fixed groove sights. They are well-regulated for combat/cowboy distances but are not built for precision bullseye target shooting.  Cowboy Action Shooting: The platform is highly favored in the Cowboy Action community for its reliability and smooth single-action operation.  Common Modifications Enthusiasts often customize these revolvers to suit their needs. Common upgrades include swapping standard hammers for Bisley or Super Blackhawk hammers, adding lighter springs for a smoother trigger pull, or upgrading to faux-ivory or stag grips.  Specifications Introduced to the market in 1993, the original Ruger Vaquero is a heavy-duty, fixed-sight single-action revolver built on the large "New Model" frame. The .44-40 and .44 Magnum calibers were officially added to the Vaquero line in 1994.  Specific factory specifications for the 1994 model include: Caliber: .44 Magnum (also accepted .44 Special) or .44-40 Winchester Capacity: 6 rounds Action Type: Single-Action Revolver (featuring a transfer bar mechanism for safety) Barrel Lengths: 4 5/8" Overall Length: 9.5 to 13 inches (depending on the barrel length) Weight: 39 to 48 ounces (unloaded, depending on the barrel length and frame/finish) Sights: Fixed notch rear sight and rounded blade front sight Materials/Finishes: Offered in high-gloss stainless steel or blued steel with a simulated color-case-hardened frame Grips: Traditional western-style hardwood or simulated bone panels featuring the silver and black Ruger Eagle medallions  This is a used item.
