I am new to the forum and was wondering if anyone could help locate a Ruger "old model" Vaquero 357 4 5/8 blue.
i know this is an old thread, but chit, it cracks me up when that issue comes up. those of us who shoot vaquero pistols often know there isnt an actual designation as old model, but hell, even when you call ruger for parts or info on the vaquero, their own service techs ask you "do you have the OLD model or the NEW MODEL vaquero"BlkHawk73":1djxe39t said:Redunant I know but there's Vaqueros and New Vaqueros. There are NO "OLD MODEL" Vaqueros.
Aside from the on-line sites mentioned by EDK, check your local shops. seems ppl are letting the extra guns go now with the current state ofthe economy.

There is nothing wrong with just saying 'old' Vaquero and 'new' Vaquero when referring to the Vaquero and New Vaqeruo. Just leave the word 'model' out of the communication and everyone is 'happy'. Seems sooooo simpleI guess it's never going to stop.

Same goes for the .45 Colt and it's incorrect alias '.45 long colt'.

Why do threads that ask a simple question always end up arguing about whether it's called a Vaquero or an "old Vaquero?"
Back to the OP's question: I see lots of Vaqueros (both versions) listed on the for-sale forums at Glocktalk, Highroad, Firing Line, AR15 and all the Ruger forums. There are also dozens of them at the local gun shows here in the DFW area. I buy only face-to-face so won't buy one off the forums sight unseen. Good luck with your search.
