Several years ago I bought an extra cylinder for my 3.75" Birdshead Vaquero. It's been laying in a drawer collecting dust until recently. I have been wanting a .45acp revolver but just haven't had the $$. So I contacted TK Customs and asked if they could cut a Vaquero cylinder for clips. After making sure I understood (which I did) that the cylinder must be removed to load and unload the clips he said sure send it on in. The only other thing he required was for me to also buy at least 10 of his clips. Which I did, as well as a clip loader and unloader. I had it back in about a week and a half. It's a real pleasure to shoot and loading and unloading is light years ahead of using the ejector rod. Which I thought about removing but with it installed on the short barreled Vaquero it holds the base pin in place while I swap clips.
TK just machines enough cylinder to allow for the clips. They leave a rim around the outside of the cylinder including the outer edge of the chambers which still allows .45Colt and Schofield cartridges to be used.
