Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger Vaquero 44 for sale
Is the Ruger Vaquero discontinued?
The Ruger Vaquero's current production status is uncertain. Ruger's site lists SASS Vaqueros as currently unavailable, and forums are actively debating whether the line has been discontinued. Two variants appear across retailers with a median price around $867, but availability is limited and unclear.
Is a Ruger Vaquero a good gun?
The Ruger Vaquero is well-regarded for its ruggedness, reliability, and accuracy. It's popular in cowboy action shooting and among single-action revolver enthusiasts. Available in .45 Colt and other calibers, it retails around $867. Most owners consider it an excellent value for the price.
What is the typical price of a Vaquero revolver?
Ruger Vaquero revolvers typically sell for around $867, with most listings ranging from $747 to $1,080. MSRP runs $789 to $1,099 depending on barrel length and configuration. Two variants are available across multiple retailers.
What is the difference between the old and new Vaquero?
Original Vaqueros use a larger Blackhawk-style frame with XR3-RED grip frames, suiting shooters with larger hands or magnum loads. New Models feature a smaller Colt-sized grip frame, lighter handling, and improved reliability, making them better optimized for SASS competition. Originals appeal to those prioritizing frame size and power.
Can you shoot .44 Special in a .44 mag?
Yes, .44 Magnum revolvers safely fire .44 Special rounds. Both cartridges share the same .429-inch bullet diameter and nearly identical case design. The Special is simply a shorter, less powerful load, so recoil is lighter. Clean the cylinder chambers regularly when alternating between the two to prevent carbon buildup.
