SASS and Ruger Team Up

If you were at the NRA Convention you got a sneak preview of the new Ruger / SASS Vaquero. If you were not there here is a little bit about it.

The first thing you notice is the standard Vaquero hammer has been replaced with a new, wider and lower “Montado-style” hammer. This hammer is easier to reach and will fast become a favorite of all Cowboy Action Shooters. This hammer style has always been legal on adjustable sighted guns like the Ruger “Blackhawk” and is now legal on all fixed sighted revolvers. As you look down the barrel, you will notice the next new feature of the Ruger/SASS Vaquero—the
front sight is easier to see because the rear sight has been widened to 140 thousands of an inch. The standard New Vaquero has a rear sight of 100 thousands. You know the old saying, “You can’t hit the target if you can’t see your front sight,” and this modification makes it much easier to see that all-important front sight!

The Ruger/SASS Vaquero will initially be offered in Ruger’s Gloss Stainless finish, .357 caliber, and a 4- 5/8 inch barrel. It will also be marked with a special series of serial numbers beginning with “SASS” in the serial number. Last, but certainly not least, the grip will be black hard rubber grips, and they will come with full color SASS logo buttons. This really gives the gun a very distinctive look and will be unmistakable on the range. The gun will be packaged in a special double box and sold as a consecutive serial numbered set. The Ruger/SASS Vaquero will be available in July, depending upon production, and will be available at your local Ruger dealer and though the SASS Mercantile.

We at SASS are extremely excited about the new Ruger /SASS Vaquero. I am sure as soon as you see one, you will be as excited as we are! With this combination of features and the reliability of the Ruger Vaquero, this will be an unbeatable combination. Also, don’t forget END of TRAIL is just around the corner, and you will be able to take a peak at one there!

See you at END of TRAIL!
