OVERVIEW

Offered here is a beautiful Ruger Vaquero chambered in .45 Colt, featuring a 5½-inch barrel, polished stainless steel finish, traditional Ruger wood grips with silver medallions, and a Tyler Gun Works in-house action job.

Shipped from the factory in 2003, this revolver represents Ruger's original large-frame Vaquero design, introduced in 1993 and discontinued in favor of the smaller-frame New Vaquero in 2005. Built with classic Western styling, fixed sights, and Ruger's rugged single-action mechanism, the original Vaquero remains a favorite among collectors and sixgun enthusiasts.

This particular revolver has received our Tyler Gun Works in-house action job for improved timing and a smoother, more refined action. It is also equipped with a Belt Mountain base pin for enhanced cylinder stability.

An excellent example of the discontinued original large-frame Ruger Vaquero, combining traditional styling, desirable .45 Colt chambering, and tasteful mechanical enhancements.
