One of the shops up here has one in the case.  PM me if you want further investigation.  Would a 5 1/2 do?

Ruger has stopped the CCH. I guess they were getting too many complaints about rusting.
I, for one, am not very happy about that, because I wanted to get a brace of b/cch RNVs in .357. Guess I'll have to get it done by Turnbull or somebody, now.

The Ruger CCH was just a chemical treatment.  It wasn't all that durable so I guess they gave up on it.

Think it was more like an ink than a chemical treatment. I'm sorry to see it go as well. CCH frames are just more cowboy looking, IMHO...........Buck 8) ::) :o

I bought my first Ruger New Vauqero at Cabelas a couple weeks ago. It has the color case hardening finish on frame.

I did notice that their website is showing the vaquero with a blued frame, but haven't seen one on the shelves yet.

...and I am surprised at how smooth this NMV is out of the box. wow. i did pull the plunger and spring to let the cylinder spin both ways...very handy.

Well Darn!

I seem to be having poor luck on getting a matched set of NMV's. 

I ordered my first through my gun dealer last year.  I asked for a stainless model in .357.  The shipment was delayed and I was needing it for a match the following weekend.  He quickly ordered a second, and they sent a CCH model, instead.  I was desparate, and so bought the CCH model.  The stainless arrived and languished in his gun case for a year.  When thieves broke in last month they cleaned him out of semi-autos, but left the stainless Ruger behind.

I finally saved enough for a second gun and thought I'd buy the stainless gun from him, but he sold it.  That relieved my guilt, so I ordered another Ruger from him to match the one I bought last year.

The gun that arrived was in .45 Colt.  He sent it back (no rush this year).  Two days later my new one arrived.

I was shocked to learn when I got it home that it is not a CCH gun, but rather is blued.  It more closely matches my ole Blackhawk than my NMV.


Now I gotta wrap my mind around the idea that Blued is close enough.
