Chambered in .45 Colt, the New Vaquero targets cowboy action shooters and traditionalists with a smaller, lighter frame than its predecessor, maintaining Ruger’s reputation for rugged, reliable firearms. Its classic styling and modern transfer bar mechanism make it a popular choice for sport shooting and historical enthusiasts alike. This example, serial number 51286339, features a 4.5" barrel chambered in .45 Colt, offering a balanced mix of portability and power for range or field use. It comes with a case, lock, and instruction manual, enhancing its practicality and storage options. The revolver includes a blued steel finish, hardwood grips, and fixed sights, weighing approximately 40 ounces and measuring about 10.25" overall. Its single action system requires manual cocking, supported by a transfer bar safety for secure carry and smooth operation. In good condition, this Ruger New Vaquero shows moderate wear consistent with use, yet remains fully functional, with its accessories adding value. Manufactured in 2007, based on the "512" prefix per Ruger’s serial numbering records for the New Vaquero, it reflects an early production run of the model. With its case, lock, and manual included, this revolver offers a complete package for shooters or collectors seeking a dependable .45 Colt single action with Western flair.
