Ruger Vaquero 40 S&W?

I saw one of these today in polished stainless. Owner said 1 of 50. Is there any truth to his statement. Thanks in advance.

I don't know as to the number, but I have only seen two for sales in the last three years and they were asking a handsome price for each.

Lots of info here..

There was a convertible model too (with 38-40). Cool.

Yeah cool......
And we can't get ANYBODY to make a vaquero in .41 Mag! :evil:

I saw one once, I wish I had gotten it but at the time I had gotten rid of all of my 40's.

The 38-40 Buckeye was a convertible in 10mm/38-40. In the 10mm forum a fellow found a 40S&W and had it made into a 10mm. I have been hoping for years that Ruger through Lipsey or Talo would come out with a new convertible in 10mm/40S&W. So far no luck.

Whether it's one of the .40S&W only guns made for the San Diego Sheriff's Dept. or one of the .38-40 convertibles, it sounds like his production numbers are a little off.

Thanks for a the reply's!

here's one of the davidson's combo's i was lucky to find.

Bravo! They are out there to be found.

That's neat! I just can't seem to find the elusive .41 mag Vaquero........ :lol:

smith1961, I doubt you'll ever see a New Vaquero in 41 mag. It would require the larger frame of the Vaquero & Ruger stopped production of those several years ago. Plus, the Vaquero was primarily for the SASS crowd, and 41 mag was not on the "list of calibers" that was popular or possibly allowed to be used. Lastly, a Vaquero in 41 mag wouldn't likely sell enough volume to make it feesable, IF they did try & offer it. The era to have such a gun would have been when Ruger still offered the original, larger framed Vaquero.
Custom built will be the only option.

Here are a pair of .40cal - 38/40 convertibles and matching series #s (sans prefix) buckeyes in 10mm - 38/40 and 32 h&r - 32/20.
