Spied a 44 Special Vaquero

[The Norseman]

Made my weekly visit to my favorite Gun Shop; First Stop Gun and Coin,
Rapid City, SD, the other day.

Looking through the cabinet of Single Actions, in the corner was something
new.

It was a brand new Ruger Vaquero with what looked like a 3-1/2" barrel.
Tag said; 44 Special, Sheriff Model, $579.

It was neat and compact. Must be something new by Ruger/Lipsey.
Just thought I'd pass that along if any one need's it.

It's something new alright. It's a "New Vaquero" that says "Vaquero" on the side of it. Lots of talk already about this gun.

Blue or Stainless?

So, how's it shoot?
Jeff Quinn's was doing one hole groups from a ransom rest.

The 44 Spl Vaquero Sheriff Model I saw was blued and had
black plastic checkered grips.

I have the 4 5/8 stainless version on order. Do I understand that it is marked "Vaquero" not "New Vaquero". That could get confusing about twenty years from now.

Correct.

Very much like S&W and their use of M&P: describes a K frame a line plastic autos and a custom shop 5" N frame...
Chief's Special either a J frame or a small 3rd gen auto
Bodyguard: either a hammer shrouded J frame or a new plastic 380 or a new plastic revolver....
Time for some creativity!

Correct.

As if we didn't have enough trouble explaining new and old model Ruger single actions!
