Rick H - I remember Ruger produced a Vaquero for a while that could be bought with cylinders factory fitted for both .. or one had the option of sending in their Vaquero to Ruger and having a 45 acp cylinder fitted - forgot just which way it went. Can;t find any 45 acp cylinders for sale online anywhere, but I suggest you call Ruger and inquire. If they di ti once, they might well do it again, if you sweet talk them. LOL Call them at 1 (336) 949-5200. I've always had very good luck with Ruger customer service. Meanwhile, keep your eyes open on Ruger Forums and auction sites for a cylinder you could have fitted.

No these are impossible to find unfortunately

Rick, you could see if you could locate a Vaquero 45ACP Cylinder on some of the Ruger Forums "For Sale" sections as Ruger did make a Convertible Model with 2 fitted Cylinders in 45LC & 45ACP : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT7Z6KT5WRU

Rick, You will not find a 45 ACP cylinder for this firearm. Everybody is giving you false hope about finding one.

The 45 ACP cylinder from the new Flattop Blackhawk would also fit a New Vaquero (barring possible minor fitting) if you can find one of those.
