If only Ruger would bridge the gap and give us a Vaquero with a J Frame style adjustable rear sight from the factory for less than the cost of a custom...

I'm still lying to myself and saying I'm only going to own one single action. Denial is fine! It's. Fine!
Doesn’t the Vaquero use a steel grip frame?
Yes.

Or, you could just go buy a Blackhawk...
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
That would seem the simple answer, but Im not particularly fond of the ugly (to me) factory sights and a host of other things about them. The Vaquero already has 25 years of history with me, and many hours of work on it. Besides, Smith K sights on single actions have a certain panache of their own.
ETA...Besides, already have a Blackhawk, which had many hours of work in it also.
