I worked for a Remington firearms distributor back in the early to late 1970's. No supply issues. We then became an S&W distributor. We had to order poor selling models, like M31, M10, and others in certain quantities before we were allowed to order the "good stuff", M29, M25-2, M57, M66, etc. I would wager that Ruger does the same. I also think that Ruger has top distributors that get the best, newest, most high in demand products. Davidson's, and Lipsey's come to mind. It is Ruger's business and they can do as they please.

I just got an ad from CDNN. They have a 4 5/8" Vaquero and a Blackhawk on sale. Better jump on it if that's what you're looking for! Only 2 left when I wrote this

Not a bad price. That about what I paid for my used one. The CDNN price on the polished Vaquero is decent. I gave about $100 more for my 5.5" new about a year or so ago.

I paid $629.99 (plus tax, shipping & ffl) for the new production BH in post #8

Paid $80 for my first new BH in 1968.
(about $700 in today's dollars)

$629 is a deal, I think. There's a nice used Super here local for $599. And the local pawn shop has quite a variety, although all overpriced. I make a weekly or so rounds of all the local shops looking for deals on 3 screws.

I paid $609+ for my New Vaquero .357 in 2017.
It's the Talo "Fast Draw" edition. Changed the Talo grip panels for these Altamonts because I think they are better looking (saving the originals of course).

These are what the Talo panels looked like:

People can't afford to feed 'em. The market for .45 LC or .44 anything isn't exactly strong.

Ruger should make more 9mm/357 Vaquero convertibles

Ruger is selling Wranglers by the truck load because they're cheap and affordable to shoot.

Wow! If I hadn't just purchased another Single Six and impulse bought a Mini-14 I would be all over that stainless Vaquero at Tombstone. That would be a great starting point for a lightweight build.
