Product Overview
The Ruger Vaquero in .45 Long Colt is a robust single-action revolver designed to deliver consistent performance and reliability. Engineered for traditional single-action operation, this firearm integrates Ruger’s durable construction methods with classic aesthetics, making it a functional choice for enthusiasts who prioritize enduring utility.
Key Features
Robust Construction
The Vaquero utilizes a high-strength, investment-cast frame, characteristic of Ruger’s design philosophy, ensuring resilience under sustained use. The blued finish provides a traditional appearance while offering a degree of corrosion resistance. Critical components are precision machined to maintain tight tolerances and operational consistency.
Caliber and Barrel Configuration
Chambered in .45 Long Colt, this revolver offers a substantial cartridge suitable for various applications. The 5.5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel is engineered for consistent bore dimensions, contributing to inherent accuracy potential. This barrel length is selected to balance maneuverability with velocity retention for the .45 Long Colt cartridge.
Fixed Sighting System
Equipped with a fixed sighting system, the Vaquero features an integral front blade and a notch rear sight. This configuration provides a durable, low-profile sighting solution, optimized for consistent point of impact at practical distances, mitigating snag hazards.
Traditional Single-Action Mechanics
Operating in a single-action mode, the hammer must be manually cocked for each shot. This mechanism provides a deliberate trigger pull, favored for precision shot placement. The internal mechanics are designed for durability and a consistent feel through the firing cycle.
