Ruger Vaquero Blued, 4.62", .357Mag

Ruger Vaquero Blued is a single-action revolver chambered for .357 Magnum cartridges, designed in the spirit of classic western firearms with an emphasis on traditional styling and modern safety features. The frame is made of alloy steel with a blued (blackened) finish, preserving the authentic historical appearance while meeting contemporary standards of durability and reliability.

The revolver operates in a single-action system and is equipped with a transfer bar safety mechanism and a loading gate interlock, allowing safe carry with all chambers loaded. A patented reverse indexing pawl ensures precise cylinder positioning for easier loading and unloading, while the traditionally beveled cylinder supports smooth holstering. The cold hammer-forged barrel provides precise rifling with a 1:16" RH twist rate, optimized for .357 Magnum performance. A blade front sight combined with an integral notch rear sight machined into the frame reflects the simple and functional sighting concept typical for this class of revolvers. The design is further complemented by a large crescent-shaped ejector rod head, maintaining the traditional western profile. Ergonomics are enhanced by hardwood grips, offering a natural and secure hand-filling hold.
