I was able to score a nice Ruger Sheriff's model on Gun Broker. This one is stainless with a 3-3/4" barrel and is chambered in .44 special. I believe the grips are laminated rosewood grips and they have a very narrow "Gunfighter" profile. I think they are similar to some of the ones that came on the Montado version that Ruger offered a couple of years ago. I am not sure if this one of a special edition that Ruger did for Lipsey's or maybe Talo. Now all I have to do is to find some suitable leather for this baby.... Oops....Forgot to add my "Wheel O' Rugers" photo!

Is that the large OM frame or the New Vaquero size? I see its not marked NEW, but it has the ugly New Vaq hammer.

I have another .44 special Ruger with a 4-5/8" that is marked the same way with the smaller frame. I am not a fan of the hammer on these either. I think a SBH hammer will be next on the list for these…

That's a beauty. I love the short barreled Sheriffs Models. Great toting guns.

I must be the only person that likes that hammer ! Come winter(here now) and the wearing of gloves, that hammer is very positive to use. I've one of the 44spec NM Vaq SS Sheriff's too.

I see you like long barrels, nice!! Thanks! I like all barrel lengths, but out of the bunch, I have more of the longer barreled models.... This wheel is an addiction!!!....Keep feeding it.. It has taken me quite a while to gather the pistols together for the "Wheel". I started back in 1968 with the Ruger Single Six that was given to me by my dad. It is located between 10:00 and 11:00 o'clock in the photo. As mentioned above, I do like the longer barrels. I am hoping to add a 10-1/2" stainless SBH sometime down the road....

Thanks to the amazing generosity of forum member "Fowler", I now have a beautiful holster to carry my new Sheriff's Model in.... The holster is made by D. M. Bullard and it fits my little Sheriff's Model perfectly!
