RUGER VAQUERO SASS

Heritage styling with modern safeguards

The RUGER VAQUERO SASS captures the look and feel of Wild West single-actions while integrating contemporary safety features. Notable period details include a hand-filling western-style grip for a natural point of aim, a larger crescent-shaped ejector rod head for authentic appearance, and a traditional beveled cylinder to ease holstering. Ruger complements that authenticity with a transfer bar and loading gate interlock system to reduce the risk of accidental discharge during carry and handling.

Package specifics that matter to collectors and shooters

This special edition is presented as a two-gun, consecutive serial number set with the SASS prefix, chambered in .45 Long Colt. Each revolver features a 5.5-inch barrel, a 6-shot cylinder, and a high-gloss finish on stainless steel frame and barrel. A commemorative case is included for secure storage and attractive display—details that raise the package’s appeal to collectors and period reenactors.

Performance: .45 Long Colt and field use

The .45 Long Colt is a proven cartridge for the Vaquero platform. With a 5.5-inch barrel you’ll see good muzzle velocity and practical accuracy for hunting medium game at close ranges, ranch work, and cowboy action shooting. The 6-shot cylinder balances capacity with the classic revolver silhouette; combined with the revolver’s ergonomics, follow-up shots remain controllable for most shooters.

Why Ruger remains notable

Ruger’s reputation for durable manufacturing and practical engineering shows through features like the reverse indexing pawl that eases loading and unloading. Those mechanical choices maintain the traditional operation fans expect while making day-to-day use more user-friendly.
