My Ruger of the day is another old vaquero.

This one is in .357 and I searched the wannamacher gun show in Tulsa for 2 days to find a 9mm cylinder for it. So not a factory convertible. Really like this one and carry and shoot it at least every week.

If it's an Original Vaquero,, (meaning it has the Blackhawk sized frame) then a NM 9mm cylinder that has the same OAL can be added to it. If you find a NM 9mm cylinder that's a tad long, it can have the cylinder boss GENTLY honed down to fit. Too short and it's not be right.

Yep I actually found a 9mm cylinder that fits it. It's in the vaquero in the picture. Works perfect. Actually fits a little better than the original cylinder.
