When I was making the post with my two serial numbers the other day I got distracted and something I forgot to mention was that my two guns are not 100% identical. #505 has a different ejector rod lever shape than #506. The one ending in 506 has an ejector rod lever that looks like most of the...

Ouch

I'm not certain, I have not heard of any higher than my 506 so far but doesn't mean there may not be one. I don't think they ran the serial numers straight through, I think they stopped for awhile and then started again when they did the cleanup and just slipped in the serial numbers inline...

Mine are both dated My 25th, 2010 Serial numbers 58-99505 and 58-99506 Yes I did and it's VERY accurate :)

Shouldn't be anymore, usually thats what a cleanup run is... it's the last of the last pieces being finished out into completed guns. The released them in 2009 and they would appear on the market new from time to time for about a year there and then they dried up and I havent seen any new ones...

I think it's still valuable and Hey, I shoot one of mine anyway. I don't shoot that much to make much of a real difference.

Yea, that's an initial over-run model. Ruger has a minimum order size of 500 but didn't have but about 800 orders initially with a few more later on so they had about 100+ extrras that didn't get the SDSA logo and had the warnings on the left side. Later on they made 25 or so that had the...

Is the safety warning on the underside of the barrel or on the left side of the barrel? You might also want to read this page for more info; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruger_Vaquero

Congrats, though I think you mean a run of 1000, not 100. I have a couple of them myself with sequential serial numbers.

What holster are you carrying a New Vaquero in for CCW?

Yes but I think he was asking about one with only a single cylender, though could be wrong.

What I meant was you can't expect to interchange the cartridges in the cylender, the special editions were specially machined to accept the .40 S&W Semi-Auto round without the need of a moon-clip.

That's a completly different animal than the special editions that take the moden Semi-Auto .40 S&W rounds.

Nods. Not a bad price, I have a 5.5" stainless New Vaquero for sale which is brand new in the box, never fired even once, in fact I've never taken the yellow cylender thing out of it and I want $500 for mine so $400 is pretty good for one that's been fired extremely little. The one I have is...

2004 though they have made some special runs of the original frame versions since. The orginal Vaqueos simply said "Vaquero" on the side, all of the new versions actually say "New Vaquero" on the side so telling them apart is quite easy.
