 STURM, RUGER INTRODUCES THE RUGER NEW VAQUERO FAMILY OF SINGLE ACTION REVOLVERS
Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR), the nation’s largest firearms manufacturer, is proud to introduce the Ruger New Vaquero family of single action revolvers. The Ruger Vaquero is often referred to as the gun that won the New West because of its widespread popularity among single action shooters and cowboy action event competitors. The Ruger New Vaquero, with its new size and new features, is sure to exceed even the legendary reputation of the original Ruger Vaquero.
“Since its introduction in 1993, the Ruger Vaquero has dominated the cowboy action shooting world. The Vaquero has earned its reputation for rugged reliability because of its strength and mechanical superiority,” said Sturm, Ruger President, Stephen L. Sanetti. “The New Vaquero combines the original ‘Old West’ single action look and feel with new features sure to be appreciated by competitive shooters.”
The New Vaquero incorporates Sturm, Ruger’s slimmer pre-1962 “XR-3” style grip frame and a smaller cylinder frame with a unique reverse indexing pawl, which positively aligns the cylinder with the loading gate cutout for easy loading and unloading of cartridges. The New Vaquero also features a recontoured hammer and new hammer spring for the smoothest, easiest cocking ever. Other new features include a beveled cylinder for easier holstering, checkered “hard rubber” grips, and a crescent-shaped ejector rod head. The New Vaquero family will include both“color-case” blued and stainless steel models in .357 Magnum and .45 Colt calibers, with barrels lengths of 4 5/8”, 5 1/2”, and 7 1/2”.
“Those who want to personalize their New Vaquero will find a variety of accessories and services available from Sturm, Ruger,” stated Sanetti. “From simulated ivory grips and leather holsters to custom engraving, Sturm, Ruger can help the New Vaquero owner create a one-of-a-kind firearm, or in the case of a cowboy shooter, a unique pair!”
