Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger Vaquero Case Hardened for sale
Can you dry fire a Ruger new Vaquero?
Yes. Ruger's owner manual explicitly states that new model single-action revolvers like the Vaquero can be dry-fired safely without damaging the firing pin or other components. The transfer bar and internal stops protect these parts during dry fire practice.
Can Ruger Vaquero handle hot loads?
No. New Vaqueros are built to Colt SAA pressure specs, not Ruger Blackhawk specs. Keep .45 Colt loads at standard Colt SAA pressures. The gun lacks sufficient steel to safely handle hot loads from manufacturers like Buffalo Bore or CorBon.
Is a Ruger Vaquero a good gun?
Whether it's "good" depends on your needs. Vaqueros excel at cowboy action and range shooting—shooters praise their durability and reliable single-action handling. If you want a classic revolver for sport or western competition, it's solid. If you need modern features or higher capacity, look elsewhere.
