Ruger Vaquero 45 Colt 5.5" Blued Revolver

Ruger Vaquero 45 Colt Single-Action Revolver

The Ruger Vaquero represents a modern interpretation of the classic American single-action revolver, built with the precision and reliability Ruger is known for. This is a serious working gun dressed in traditional western form.

Design & Ergonomics

Traditional Western Grip: The hand-filling hardwood grip is designed for natural pointing and comfortable extended shooting sessions. This grip style has been proven over generations of use.

Larger Crescent Ejector Rod: The distinctive larger ejector rod head combines traditional aesthetics with practical functionality, making loading and unloading intuitive for shooters of all experience levels.

Beveled Cylinder: The traditional beveled cylinder design simplifies holstering and contributes to the authentic western appearance.

Safety & Reliability

• Transfer Bar Mechanism: Ruger's patented transfer bar provides a critical safety feature, preventing accidental discharge if the gun is dropped or struck
• Loading Gate Interlock: Works in conjunction with the transfer bar to ensure the hammer cannot contact the firing pin unless the trigger is deliberately pressed
