« on: August 29, 2010, 03:45:08 AM »
while looking thru the ruger catalog i notice they have a SASS model. the msrp is around 1500$ my dad and i carefully compared it to his montado and couldnt find much if any difference.so whats the reason for the price that is double the other vaqueros?

  Didn't read that enough.  Per Ruger's site:  Sold in a two-gun set with consecutive serial numbers with "SASS" prefix, shipped together in a commemorative, red two-gun case.

  It has "a high-gloss, stainless steel finish VaqueroŽ with lower and wider Montado-style hammer, 4.62" barrels, and wider (.14") rear notch sights."    I also believe the grip frame is the stand one and not the grooved one on the Montado.  Not that it's a big deal but the grip medallions are unique to this model too.
