I recently traded into a New Vaquero in .44 special The catalog # is KNV443,It has a plow handle grip frame and about a 3 & 1/2 inch barrel.I looked on Rugers web site,But they didn't show this model.Can anyone here tell me more about it? I like the way it handles and wouldn't mind finding another one so I could use them for Cowboy Action shooting. Thanks.

Does the box end say 44 special? They had some come thru marked 44 MAG on the box end.
Old post here somewhere! Found it, half way down on this page, under
"interesting Vaquero"
Would this be it?

Sounds like it was from Lipseys a few years back.

And some more info here although the 506 number may not be correct since the Lipseys page states 2010-2011 manufacture and Chad's post is from Dec. 2010.
