Unless you buy a gun that already has the alternate caliber cylinder with it (Like a ruger convertible) all single action revolvers w/ multiple cylinders are custom affairs due to the fact that the cylinder and action have to be properly timed. Often the Ruger Convertible models are dealer/distributor exclusives that Ruger uses to test the waters to see if there is demand for them at the time.SQLGeek wrote:Upon further review, the 9mm conversion cylinder for a Vaquero is a custom deal. Bummer. Maybe I will price a .45 then.

Re: Revolver questions
If you are buying a new ruger single action consider the convertible models. My Vaquero in .45 can eat .45 auto and .45 Colt with only a cylinder change. My friend Bobby Tyler recently did a 200 gun run where he color cased some .357 Vaquero convertibles. Those beauties have a cylinder for .357/.38 and another for 9x19 (I would point you in the direction to one of those but as far as I know they are all sold).
