I see Ruger lists the 45/45acp convertible. But does not list a .357/9mm convertible in the Vaquero. Have, or do, they make one? If not, are there aftermarket cylinders for them to shoot 9mm?

Ruger made 251 of them.
Info below from the "Reference of Ruger Firearms"

BNV-35X (Ruger model 0506). Special Distributor model .357 Mag. with 5-1/2" barrel and extra 9mm cylinder. Known s/n range 58-06500 to 58-09104. A total of 251 shipped in 2001 to Lipsey's (LA).

I believe a Blackhawk 9mm cylinder would fit or be made to fit the (original) Vaquero.
I see them for sale from time to time on e-bay. (Just checked and there are 7 listed. :D )
Don't think there have been any convertible 357 /9mm convertibles on the smaller New Vaquero frame.

That is what I was trying to ask. Wish there were. I am getting picky in my old age, I guss. I have a 6.5" Blackhawk convertible and like it. I would like a 4 5/8 OM but have not seen one lately.

The Lipsey's .357/9mm Flattop Convertibles in blued and stainless are made on the smaller frame the same as New Vaqueros. I also would like to them offer the .357 New Vaquero as a 9mm convertible.
