    Custom adjustable sights on a Vaquero?

    Has anyone ever owned/built a Ruger Vaquero (or other single action) with an adjustable rear sight? Yes, I realize that I could just buy a Blachawk, but I like the look of the rounder frame and front sight much better on a "traditional" looking single action (and I like custom guns). Plus, I...

    .45acp AR15 ?

    Who makes a kit? is it worth it? I would like to buy a suppressor in the next year or so, and I want to be able to use it on a Pistol and rifle/carbine. I figured that since it's already slow .45acp would be a good round for suppressed shooting, am I right?

    I think I got some awsome deals at the gunshow this weekend! I was walking past a large dealers booth and stopped to drool over the 45colt Redhawks.
