Vaquero Question

GFrank · Jan 27, 2013

Hi All
Im a bit green when it comes to revolvers but you guys have helped me out in the past.
Im wanting a Vaquero in SS with the birdshead grip in 45acp or 357 with the barrel the
same length as the ejector. Is this something Ruger offered? I looked at their web sight
but found nothing like this.

Thanks in advance George

The only current product that matches your description is the limited run for Lipsey's wholesalers.
not in .357, but offered in 45LC or 45ACP with one barrel choice: 3.75"
Go to gunbroker or similar sites, and you will find a few still available, but not many!
Here are links to a couple:

I had one:

but sold it!!
I just bought a Sheriff model, 44 Spec, and will post pics and review of that soon...

If you want one, get it now, they ain't making any more!

As far as I know the only one in stainless was in 45 colt made for TALO and sold by either Davidson's or Lipsey's.
I think your best bet to find one would be to watch Gunbroker.com.

Got it thanks for the info/help
I was going to send a PM to seebs looks like a good vender, problem is im in CA and the rats in Sacramento have imposed a tax on new and used guns imported into CA that plus around $70 in paperwork adds up to over $100 added to the origional cost of the gun. Alright enough crying

.
1 last question what does TALO stand for?
And im off to find one
