Ruger has several Vaquero models with 45Colt/45acp cylinders

I believe the Colt Cowboy used the same cylinder as the Single Action Army, and since Colt made .45 ACP cylinders for them I'd call their Customer Service Departemnt and find out if they are still available.

Cimarron makes a dual cylinder model too

I have one in the 1873 model (with firing pin spur) and love it.

Cheap .45 ACP to practice with and a fast switch to the .45 LC.

I'm still looking for another one in fact. Very nicely balanced and beautiful wood work on the grip.

I'm not sure, But I believe Cimarron's cylinders are the same as Colt's 1st and 2nd generation 1873 models, where the 3rd. generation Single Actions and Cowboy models have a different ratchet pattern and use a different hand. The changes were made to reduce hand fitting.

Wait just a dawg-gone minute here...

Pat just posted about a revolver.


A single-action revolver.


A cowboy revolver, which can't even use modern grizzly-repellant loads.

I just don't get it.

Yep I like antiques. Not for carry but for fun.
