Ruger Announces Limited Edition SASS Vaquero
June 30, 2009Printer Friendly | Email |
NEWPORT, NH -- Sturm, Ruger & Company's new Ruger Single Action Shooting Society Vaquero is a high-gloss stainless steel revolver with a lower/wider Montado-style hammer found on the Ruger Montado.
The SASS Vaquero, chambered in .357 Magnum, features a 4-5/8" barrel, a blade front sight and wider (.140") rear sight, and black checkered, hard rubber grips with SASS grip medallions. Each SASS Vaquero will bear a special serial number featuring the letters "SASS" as a prefix followed by the numeric sequence. These special edition single-action revolvers will only be sold in two-gun sets of consecutive serial numbers and will ship in a red, two-gun carry case.
Ruger Vaquero revolvers are designed to offer the original "Old West" single action look, size and feel. Built on a mid-sized steel frame, Vaquero revolvers have the Ruger reverse indexing pawl, which aligns the cylinder with the loading gate cutout for easy loading and unloading of cartridges. A beveled cylinder for easier holstering and a larger crescent-shaped ejector rod head in traditional form are additional features.

Is this really such a major inovation? The last I heard the Bisley models were still in production-right? I've wanted Bisleys for decades now in .22,.357 and 44mag. but I've always been too frugal to spend the extra money Ruger charges for just a hammer change. Maybe that's why one by one I've traded my Rugers for Smith and Wessons. In retrospect I wish I had originally purchased each with the Bisley hammer. Oh well hindsight is always 20-20 isn't it. Back to the subject at hand-I would expect nothing less than these new additions to the Ruger stable to be nothing less than strong, accurate, and last a lifetime!
