The Ruger Vaquero Fastdraw in .357 Magnum Stainless Steel, featuring a 4-5/8 inch barrel, is engineered for discerning shooters who prioritize classic single-action performance and rugged reliability. This revolver integrates traditional design with robust modern manufacturing, delivering a capable platform for competitive fast draw, recreational shooting, or field utility.
Key Features
Optimized Fastdraw Configuration
The 4.62-inch barrel length is meticulously balanced to facilitate rapid, fluid presentation from the holster. This shorter profile, combined with the traditional Vaquero frame, ensures consistent handling and maneuverability without compromising ballistic performance for its intended range.
Robust Stainless Steel Construction
Constructed entirely from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this Vaquero variant offers exceptional durability and a reduced maintenance profile. The material selection ensures structural integrity under sustained use and provides a resilient finish capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions.
Dependable Single-Action Mechanism
The single-action hammer-fired mechanism is renowned for its crisp, consistent trigger pull, enabling precise shot placement. This classic operating system is inherently reliable, requiring deliberate cocking for each shot, a characteristic favored by traditional revolver enthusiasts.
Chambered in .357 Magnum
The .357 Magnum chambering provides significant terminal performance and ballistic versatility. It is fully compatible with .38 Special ammunition, allowing for diverse load selection based on application, from reduced-recoil practice to full-power defensive loads.
Fixed Sights and Traditional Grip
Integrated fixed sights, comprising a blade front and a notch rear, offer a clear, unobstructed sight picture for rapid target acquisition. The traditional panel grip configuration ensures a secure and intuitive hold, promoting consistent indexing and recoil control.
