I just acquired a new Ruger Vaquero Sheriff's Model, model # 00512, catalog # KBNV-453-SI, serial # 057-80XXX, .45LC. I was very impressed with the overall looks and feel of the gun. It's stainless steel with white grips and a 3 3/4" barrel. VERY well balanced. When I bought it, the dealer said that this was a limited edition gun and that there were only 1000 made. I'm just trying to find out more about it and whether or not this is true. I checked the Ruger web site, but couldn't find anything on this particular model. Does anyone else out there have one or know someone that does? Any information is greatly appreciated.
