The Ruger Vaquero is as classic as they come. And, Bud's Gun Shop had the model & caliber that I was looking for at the best price - period! This is my 2nd purchase from Bud's. The selection, price, & ease of transaction are all factors in why I keep coming back to Bud's. Constant communication & updates helped me to appreciate Bud's even more.

If you are thinking about the Cowboy action game this is a great starting point. It sacrifices some authenticity to the 1873 originals, but 6 rounds can safely be carried, and the high polish finish is just that. Plus its a Ruger. If there is ever an issue, they fix it.

Outstanding fit and finish. Smooth as silk. The Ruger New Vaquero in .45 Colt is an absolute fantastic revolver. Very good balance. The trigger has a very crisp and clean release. I have this 4.62" and also the 5.5." Both are amazing. Highly recommended.

What can I say that hasn't been written about this outstanding six-shooter. Bought for cowboy shooting and have enjoyed just plinking away at cans and paper. Nothing can top the Ruger Vaquero in .45 LC, well it would be hard to top this gun.

Ruger makes a fine revolver and this Vaquero is no exception, great quality and function and you can expect Ruger to stand behind any gun they sell. Buds processed my order and shipped to my FFL very quickly as always, Buds makes buying a gun online quick and easy.

Just purchased this revolver in July 2020 and I have not had a chance to fire the weapon. The action on this revolver seems rough when compared to a Colt revolver I own. The Colt is smoother when cocked and releasing the hammer. The loading gate is also stiff to operate. The gun itself is nice, great wooden handle, nice finish and very easy/quick to disassemble. I would recommend this weapon for the price and quality thus far.

Bought this revolver for quick draw cowboy contest. Found that it shoots so well, it often ends up in my holster when hog hunting. Haven't found anything to dislike yet.

beautiful firearm, fit and finish were dead on. This is my second purchase from bud's, never an issue, purchase was smooth and easy. The gun was in my hands in 6 days, with a weekend in the middle, and I am very happy with it. Thanks guys I appreciate the service I received.

I've always wanted a Cowboy style gun for my collection and was thrilled to receive this New Vaquero. This revolver is made very well, as you would expect from Ruger. The fit and finish is superb. Shooting the revolver (mine is in .45 colt) is a blast. Very comfortable and accurate shooter. It has a different feel, as you can imagine, from other modern day revolvers, but gives you an idea of what it was like to be "back in the day." Keep in mind that this is not a Colt clone (other than size) in terms of inner workings and operation. This revolver has safety features built in and you can safely load 6 rounds. I would compare it to a "Restomod" car from the 60's or 70's, as you get the look of the original but with modern components. I feel I made the right choice in choosing this revolver. This is my first firearm purchase from Buds and the transaction could not have gone any smoother. Very fast shipping to the FFE and I saved a lot of money compared to the price of the same gun in my local stores. I will definitely purchase firearms from Buds in the future.

Outstanding fit and finish. I’ve owned several New Vaqueroes in the past, and none of them have disappointed. If you’re looking for the feel of an SAA but the benefits of a modern design, nothing beats the New Vaquero. Only negative comment is that Ruger .45’s are notorious for having tight chamber throats from the factory. My bore seems to be in spec as a solid .451, but my chamber throats will not pass a .452 bullet through in a drop test. I will probably have to ream them out to .4525 in order to get lead bullets to perform with consistent accuracy.

Great stainless Vaquero.... 45 LONG COLT You feel like John Wayne with one of these at your side! Seriously... its a great shooter, the sights are right on the money out to 75 feet or so. I can hit a soda can at that range just about every time with a two hand hold. No issues! Thanks Buds!

Was pleased with the end product and speed of shipping. Gun shipped on Monday and was received at my local FFL by Wednesday afternoon. Only negative aspect is gun was purchased on October 12, 2015, money was taken out of checking account 24 hours later, and gun was in processing mode until it shipped on October 26, 2015.

My first cowboy gun. Love it! Want a second one for a matching set. I picked the Ruger over other "colt clones" for the transfer bar on the firing pin. Just felt more comfortable with that safety feature since this is my first hand gun.

Wow! Awesome gun! You will not be dissapointed. If your looking for a solid SA, buy this gun. Buds, great service as always.

My favorite revolver ever... feels like a pro shop custom smooth action and trigger right out of the box... I guess the quick draw competition shooters might make some mods to it... but for a regular recreational shooter like myself it is stuff... shoots straight and makes biggg holes in target... easy to shoot and maintain... This was my first purchase with Buds... I have bought a couple more pieces since... they say what they do... and they do it... buy with confidence... Thanks Buds!!!

My new favorite! I have owned a lot of guns and some just feel right. This one does. It needs a ladie's name because it's beautiful and smooth and feels great just to hold. Great balance, you can't help but spin it. Very nice fit and finish and butter smooth action. Relatively light but satisfying recoil with cowboy ammo. Can't wait to buy her sister !

This was my first purchase from Bud's. They took a guy who was skeptical about purchasing online and made him a fan! The shipping process is easy to track and service is quick! I am putting some rounds ( a LOT of rounds) through this bad boy on tomorrow and I have no doubt it will perform as expected. The gun was delivered just as advertised and I look forward to doing more business with Bud's.

Got #6 & 7 in. Three came from Buds with the usual excellent and quick service. All will have Houge # 79070 white pearl grips that really bring out the hi polish stainless finish. Thanks Bud's

As usual very good service from Buds. This is the third model of this Vaquero and I plan on 7 total of the 5105's. Ruger makes the best gun for the money. I have 13 of the p 95 models. Most of those came from buds and usual excellent service.

Slick and very good attention to detail .The action feels like a custom shop gun. It feels right in your hand. Buds shipped it out ultra fast,great deal as always.

This is my first Cowboy Action handgun and it is sweet. It feels very good in my hands, very well balanced, and has a beautiful polished stainless finish. I even use Blue magic metal polish on it and boy does it shine. Upon first look, the 45 Long Colt looks to be about the size of a .44 magnum and I thought it may shoot like my S&W 629 but it's recoil was closer to my .40 S&W. Very accurate shooter and A LOT of fun to shoot. The only problem is the ammunition supply of .45 LC. It is hard to find and a bit stiff on price (approx $35/box 50) but then again all ammo is except 9mm. I did order the Ruger simulated Ivory grips which really enhanced the look.
