Hey everyone. This is my first post.
My question is this: Has Ruger stopped the color casing finish on the frames of there New Vaquero? I was looking at them on Ruger's web sight and pic's of them on Gunbroker. They look to be all blued now. If they have, that sucks !!! I have a SS 4 5/8 in .45colt. Great gun . loads of fun to shoot. I thought I might some day get a Color Case / blued model to keep it company in the safe but, they look to be all blued now and I would just as soon have a Blackhawk with adjustable sights if that's the case.
Why on earth would Ruger do that? Does anyone have any info on this?
Thanks
Dave

Cost? The finish wasn't very durable apparently. I've never been able to get blued/CCH Vaqueros when I have been buying and always ended up with SS ones. Four Fingers.

That's funny. No all-blued NV's were in production, when I was in the market for a .45, so instead, I bought a NV 4 5/8" CCH ! :neutral:

However - at least the CCH finish on my NV still looks as new.
