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.
