Other than grips, consecutive serial numbers, and Montado hammers are they any different?

They also have a wider rear sight notch.

Thanks Larson, I didn't know that Ruger had made that standard on all NV's.

Why would the internal parts not interchange?

Ask Ruger :huh:

Just look at the exploded views of both, and you see the different P/N's.

I do know for fact the t'bar is not the same.....

That's for "Vaquero" vs. "New Vaquero." Even though they are called "SASS Vaqueros" they are "New Vaqueros." Parts are the same.

OK-I was go'n back to OMV vs. NMV in my pea size'd-brain. SORRY :blush:

Don't forget the two gun hard case (that I don't use) and the little cartoon SASS Marshal emblems on the grips (which tend to fall off).

 

Not knocking the SASS Edition revolvers; I've been shooting them for five years.

They would have sold a lot more if they also made the 357s in 5 1/2". I had to buy a standard pair and put SBH hammers on them.

Why don't they offer the NMV in 44/40 or 44 Special?

I'd like a set in 44/40 as well. Didn't Ruger use the same barrels for 44/40 and 44 special in the original vaqueros?

When the NRVs first came out the word was the rim on the 44-40 round was just enough bigger than 45lc that it could not be chambered with out interfering with the cylinder ratchet. I would think there would be room, with modification, since NRV cylinders are slightly larger diameter than Colts or clones.

 

Since their introduction there was a special run of 44 sp, but there have been no 44-40s or 38-40s.

 

 

Hope this helps,
