Key details and condition

The RUGER NEW VAQUERO on offer (SN: 513-53354, PR71024) is modern production and presents in near excellent condition. This polished stainless example features a 5.5″ barrel, a bright bore with strong rifling, and wood grips in excellent shape.

Why the .357 Magnum matters

The .357 Magnum chambering gives this revolver a versatile edge.

The cartridge provides effective terminal performance for defense while still allowing use of .38 Special for reduced recoil practice sessions.

Fit, finish, and reliability
