Customer Reviews for Ruger Vaquero .357 Magnum 5.5" High Gloss Stainless 6 Shot

I would highly recommend the Ruger Vaquero 357 magnum. It is a great alternative to a Colt SAA that is safer to use, much cheaper to purchase but is very well built. It also has a great trigger and is very accurate.

It is Ruger Vaquero..one of best Revolvers in production..heavy, action is smooth, came flawless, I little bit of clean and ready to action, shots accurate..depending how many rounds of caffeine you have.. but definitely one of those weapons that are passed from generation to generation. Came in a plastic box.. no big deal..but You should buy a display case to show it off.

Excellent quality mechanically and finish... smooth action in all respects

Absolutely one of the best firearms I own. Never have any problems with this one. NEVER. Purchase this firearm and you will have a winner for as long as you live.

It’s a fantastic gun, by now because the price keeps going up as all gunsv

Buds Gun Shop promptly transferred the Ruger Vaquero 357 to my local gun shop. The Vaquero is an excellent looking gun and was received in exceptional condition. The gun functions falsely out of the box. I am looking to purchase the Vaquero in the 45 version to add to my collection and will certainly shop at Buds. Thank you for a very satisfying purchase of a great gun.

Some may not like the bright finish of the Ruger Vaquero, but I do. Fit and finish is terrific. I do like the size of the old Vaquero frame a bit better; my .44 magnum just feels right to me. Nevertheless, the Ruger Vaquero is a substantial piece of steel and will last life times. Some may ask why someone would buy an SA revolver and I say, "Why not?" The demand elongated the wait time for the revolver, but the wait was worth it. The Bud's experience is an easy one.

Nice old school single action revolver. Fun to shoot and because of the added safety features easier for friends to shoot than my SAA Taylors & Company Smokewagon 45LC replica. It along with my Henry Big Boy in 357 completes my medium caliber Cowboy action collection. It looks just like the Colt SAA replica which is what I wanted. Quality is high, everything fits precisely and it shoots right on target. I just may need another one in the blued version. Highly recommend.

The Ruger Vaquero has a very nice fit and finish and shoots right on target! All as expected with a Ruger revolver, good quality!

Awesome gun, finish is beautiful, Ruger's quality is great! Smooth operation right out of the box. Lots of fun to shoot.

Beautiful firearm shoots very accurate for me workmanship is excellent

If you’re an old wheel gun kinda guy (or girl) then this gun is a must have for your arsenal. They don’t come better looking, and you’ll be driving tacks @ 30 yards. Don’t hesitate on this gun.

A truly beautiful firearm and another great transaction with Buds. Solid, smooth action, rugged and hits to point of aim with 38 powered rounds. Cylinder spins like butter - a testament to the exceptional quality and tight tolerances. Initially hurt to write the check, but well worth it with no regret. I have a few high quality semi-autos, but there is just something about this Vaquero that just draws me to it.

This is my first single action revolver. Although I have only taken it to the range twice I love it. The gun seemed a little heavy at first but when you shoot it you will appreciate the weight because there is little kick when shooting 38 special ammo. Then gun seems to be built like a tank and I do not anticipate having anything but fun with it.

Buds does it again! The Vaquero is rock solid and was perfect. What else can you say about a legendary pistol. Buds was phenomenal as always. Probably the smoothest fastest transaction I've ever had. Even for them is was stellar. Don't shop anywhere else bud Bud's. Also thanks for your support of Hickok45. Best reviewer on the web!

I‘m in love with this gun. By far the best option in the Ruger catalog. Very stylish and shoots like a dream. Actually managed to conceal this pistol quite well despite its size. The gun seems to be balanced in a way that makes it feel like there‘s less gun there than there really is. I recommend finding someone who will let you try it out first though. It‘s entirely possible that my positive experience concealing this weapon is an anomaly. Regardless, it shoots too good not to own. Would be fine just to shoot at the range or hunt with.

I have purchased the Ruger Vaquero in the .357/.38 caliber. It shot so smooth. The gun is heavy and this helps to lessen the recoil when shooting. This makes the gun great to shoot in SASS competitions because the light recoil allows you get back on target quickly. Love my Rugers.

Excellent revolver. It came in perfect shape and Bud’s shipped next day. A+

The Vaquero arrived in perfect condition and shoots modern FMJ .38 spcl & .357 Mag with ease. It is a pleasure to shoot with the heavy weight. I’ve used it in a couple small local competitions and the gun has run flawlessly in the Washington Desert. For the price it’s an outstanding gun. I’d recommend it, and I’d recommend Bud’s Guns.

I did a lot of research before I purchased this gun (Lots of YouTube videos and countless articles and forums). I wanted one that looked like the old Peacemakers, but with modern safety features. This is it! This gun is a tank! It's beautiful in Stainless Steel, and feels amazing in your hand. I got the 5.5 inch, and I'm saving up for another to keep it company. I've already put 250 rounds through it of 38 special and .357 magnum and I can't tell you how much fun it was. I have taken to carrying this every morning when I go hiking now. I love it! Thank You Ruger!

Excellent firearm. Top notch in all respects. A bit costly but you do get value for your money . Expect to be completely satisfied with your purchase of this single action.

Great product and great service. Will be back!

It's a Ruger so it's great quality and functions perfectly. Beautiful pistol and a blast to shoot.

Bought this on layaway. Excellent Bud's service, of course and the very best price without a doubt. Heavy frame makes recoil easy. Accurate out of the box and of course, the gun just looks cool. Flawless fit and finish.

Excellent SA revolver. Use for SASS. 38 has little recoil. Easy to clean. 5.5" good for starting SASS. Some members use shorter barrel lengths as the 5.5" takes longer time to draw. I'm very happy. No issues after several hundred rounds.
