The Ruger Vaquero in .45 Long Colt (brand part no. 5102) is a single-action revolver built on a smaller-frame version of the Blackhawk platform, pairing a 4.62-inch blued barrel with fixed sights and a beveled cylinder for classic cowboy-gun styling in a more compact package. Ruger fits hardwood grips sized to the smaller frame, machines a 6-groove, 1-in-16 twist barrel, and builds in a transfer bar operating mechanism with a loading gate interlock for carry safety. A case and gun lock ship with the revolver. Among classic-profile single-actions in the revolvers category, the Vaquero favors Western-action shooters who want a slimmer grip and frame than a full-size Blackhawk.
