Three more parts:

www.gunblast.com reviews a Brownell's cylinder throat reamer for .45LC guns, at: http://www.gunblast.com/Brownells_Reamer.htm

While not a Ruger-specific part, it solves a common problem in Ruger SA .45LC guns whereby the cylinder throat comes a bit tight from the factory. When this is an issue, and it often is, accuracy can be greatly enhanced by altering the throats and the Brownell's tool makes it easy for anyone to do their own. It'll cost less for the tool than to have a gunsmith do it, and you can probably sell the tool here on TFL and we can end up "passing it around" as needed

.

Gunblast also reviews some Ruger grips by SK:

Another grip that everybody should know about are the Eagle "Gunfighters" for the Vaquero/Blackhawk/SingleSix "plowhandle" grip frame:

While not recommended for monster loads, with "combat grade" or "Cowboy-spec" ammo it reduces the amount of "roll in the hand" effect you get, allowing faster follow-up shots. It has a widee following in the SASS/CAS circles.
