O.k., maybe it's time for a quick "Ruger vs. Ruger" show and tell.
The Ruger Vaquero is indeed a fixed sight gun, a very close replica of the Colt Peacemaker. Ruger introduced it to answer the calls of Cowboy Action Shooters who wanted a quality, American made gun, without spending "Colt money". Their only choices at the time were the lower quality imported Colt "clones", that just didn't hold up to all of their shooting.
The Vaquero is simply the fixed sight version of the adjustable sight Blackhawk. Here is the same Vaquero once again, this time shown with the Ruger Blackhawk. Both are in .45 Colt. The Blackhawk is, of course, stainless steel.
