Bowen Classic Arms Ruger Vaquero .44-40/.44 Magnum Revolver

Bowen Classic Arms Ruger Vaquero .44-40/.44 Magnum Revolver

This exceptional Ruger Vaquero represents a full custom revolver built by Bowen Classic Arms , widely regarded as one of the premier single-action revolver houses in the world. Completed examples like this are increasingly scarce.

Built on a Ruger Vaquero platform and extensively reworked, this revolver features a 5-1/2" octagonal barrel, professional action work, and a dual-caliber configuration. The revolver is chambered in .44-40 Winchester and includes an auxiliary .44 Magnum cylinder. The auxiliary cylinder is marked Ruger Bisley. The revolver is fitted with a Bisley hammer, while retaining the standard Vaquero grip frame (not a Bisley frame).

The revolver has been finished with a deep blue on the barrel and cylinder, paired with a beautifully executed color case-hardened frame performed by Turnbull Restoration . The finish quality and mechanical work reflect true top-tier custom craftsmanship.

Documentation from Bowen Classic Arms accompanies the revolver and details the custom work performed.
