Saw and interesting "Ruger" today at the gun show.

Well, not really a Ruger Vaquero, but sure looked like one. Had Ruger grips on it and you would think it was a polished stainless gun until you held it. Probably weighed in the neighborhood of a pound. Almost all Aluminum except for a titanium cylinder and aluminum barrel with a steel liner. In 44 special. Should have got a pic of it, but didn't think of it

One picture is worth one thousand words!

I'm a bit old fashion not sure I'd like that configuration. Weight imo is not a bad thing. ps

Probably a custom for fast draw competition and firing blanks. Just a W.A.G.

No, it's not, but... My '81 3" Charter Arms Bulldog .44 Special weighs only 18.7 oz. and it's fine to shoot with 6.5 grs. of Unique and a 235 gr. SWC. That doesn't mean everyone would like one that light. Most people find them unpleasant to shoot. The weight was why I bought it and carried it for years.

We'll never know what the OP saw
