The Ruger so rare that nobody wants one...

mainly, I suppose, because nobody has heard of it. Back between 1996 and 1998, Ruger did short runs of high polished stainless Single Sixes with fixed sights (baby Vaquero) which were a hot number, then again circa 2009-2011, total of maybe 1000-2000 made. Also, 1996-1998 they did a high polish stainless Super Single Six Convertible, which apparently didn't sell well, only made 500-600 of them and no repeat. It sure cleans up easily (and also resists rust better since surface gets thoroughly cleaned) , has great sights, and a shame it never caught on.

Also, with all the 1911 talk periodically, I'd like to present Old Blotchy, my earliest 1944 gun marked as "field serviced", it is 100% GI past the front strap stippling, will put an entire magazine to POA inside 2" at 25yds, and will not malfunction with ball even when fired with arm fully extended to side, wrist bent forward 90° held as loosely as possible without shooting myself and magazine emptied as fast as I can pull the trigger. It worked then and it works now.
