Is it just me, or is 3/4 of this thread a complete waste of space. For crying out loud, we know what the guy meant. Too bad it wasn't in 45 LONG COLT! Then we'd really have problems! :roll:
Welcome to 2010 where education is in the toilet, the English language is becoming increasingly lazy and "you know what I mean" is good enough. What's next, textspeak? Wut r u up 2??? :roll:Jayhawkhuntclub":2voyeomq said:For crying out loud, we know what the guy meant.

First generation Blackhawks are not marked "Old Model Blackhawks" but it's OK to call them "Old Model Blackhawks" and first generation Vaqueros are not marked "Old Model Vaqueros" but it is NOT OK to call them "Old Model Vaqueros".
I DO understand that Ruger, themselves, started referring to the first generation Blackhawks as "Old Models" in order to do the court required safety repairs.

It would not be valid for the fixed sight guns. Because they are not two different "generations" of Vaqueros. They are Vaqueros and New Vaqueros. Note the capitalization. "Vaquero" and "New Vaquero" are two distinct names, confusing only to those who make it so. Not unlike New York, New Orleans, New Jersey, New Hampshire, etc. Do you think the folks who live in the European cities those US cities are named after started calling them "Old" to differentiate??? Uh, no. Just call them what they are, it's stamped right on the frame. Everybody's innate need to add descriptors to avoid confusion yields the opposite result.

Concur. I prefer to call it by the designation printed on the frame. Mine is a Vaquero.

Heard there were 13 that were received through Davidson's. These guns aren't necessarily special order or Davidson's would be ordering the minimum 100 or so that are required. They are "cleanup" guns though and any distributor can get them...the distributor just has to be observant enough to claim them before another distributor does.
I've had four of these .40's reported to me so far...sn's 58-99224, 58-99226, 58-99230 and 58-99234. If your sn is different from this, please send me a PM so I can add it to my reference.
And for those true collectors out there.....this may be the only 13 "cleanup" .40's that Ruger ever does. Remember that "the Warning address is rollmarked on the bottom of the barrel!!"

Chad, my s/n is 58-99496. Must be a seperate run. Mfg is May/2010. My barrel address WAS on the bottom of the barrel. Unfortunately, the ejector rod hsg came of after the first round was fired. Now I have a new barrel and the address is on the side........ Kinda rare now! :lol:
