2006 Ruger New Vaquero 45 Colt Case Hardened - LNIB

Description:
Condition
Excellent condition in the correct factory box with manual.

The Ruger New Vaquero, introduced in 2005 as a direct follow-up to the heavier original Vaquero, provides the same traditional Old West appeal. Scaled down to closely match the exact dimensions and feel of the legendary Colt Single Action Army (SAA), it is highly regarded for its balance and fast handling. [1, 2, 3]

Key Features

• Frame Size: Built on the mid-sized "XR3" frame, making it noticeably slimmer and lighter than the original large-frame (Blackhawk-sized) Vaqueros.
• Safety & Operation: Unlike traditional Colt-style revolvers, it features a transfer bar safety, allowing you to safely carry all six rounds loaded without risk of discharge if dropped. The cylinder rotates freely for loading and unloading by simply opening the loading gate, with no need to half-cock the hammer.
• Calibers: Available in .357 Magnum, .45 Colt, and .44-40.
• Sights: Features traditional non-adjustable groove/channel sights or fixed blades, giving it authentic 19th-century aesthetics. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Strengths

• Perfect for Cowboy Action: The reduced weight and classic "Colt-like" grip frame make it incredibly fast and pointable in shooting competitions.
• Modern Durability: Ruger’s coil springs and investment-cast steel (available in bright stainless or blued finishes) make it virtually indestructible compared to antique originals. 

If you are looking for an everyday shooter or a competition piece that nails the historical look and feel of the Old West—without the fragile nature or price tag of a vintage Colt—the New Vaquero is an exceptional choice. Just keep the ammunition standard. 

The Ruger New Vaquero, introduced to more closely match the feel and dimensions of the classic Colt Single Action Army, is a 6-round, single-action revolver. Manufactured with modern internal safeties, it features smaller cylinder and frame dimensions than the original, chunkier "Old Model" Vaquero. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
