Amalgam, they do, but without calling to ask I don't know what one would cost. George

I haven't seen that one advertised. George
Phillips and Rodgers does conversions like this. I don't have any experience with them, but they got a good review in Popular Mechanics. They have a neat revolver which chambers anything from .380 to .357 mag.

Tex,
Interesting news about somebody else making cylinders for Ruger. When I visited the factory (last time was 1996), I saw cylinder production line. It started life as a round bar stock which was cut to height. I guess time changes things and all things change in time.

Dear Sir:
About 3 years ago, I sent a .357 Blackhawk back to Ruger to be fitted with a 9mm cylinder. Ruger did the work and returned the weapon promptly, charging about $65 or $75, if I remember correctly. Unfortunately, within the last year, I have been asked by several customers to do the same but in each case received another response from Ruger. The first time, I just shipped off the weapon with the request to do the work. It was returned in about 2 weeks with a note that Ruger did not do that type of work any longer. Since then I have called for two other customers and each time been told the same thing--Ruger no longer does that type of work and I should sell the customer a Ruger combo.
I think there is room to hope, however. Ruger is generally a pretty good company about customer service. Even though I've been shot down three times, I get the sense that if you're really persistent and get to talk to one of the gunsmiths on the phone, he will probably tell you to send it in. My sense is that the folks that answer the phone and open the boxes have a set to rules and regulations, but if you can get past them, you have a good chance. Best of luck. Steve
