In the Brownells catalog there's a product by MK Technologies that offers either a crescent ejector rod and bullseye ejector rod and also offers the housing for it as well as a combo.
Outlaw Grips offers it as well.
Does anyone have one of these on their Ruger SA?

I have them on 4 of my Rugers---2 blue & 2 stainless. I like 'em better than the ones they came with. Try 'em, you'll like 'em!

That bullseye will look good on my Old Model Vaquero. 8)

Naw, I ain't installed them on any Ruger Blackies or Vaqueros yet. :-X
Dang, they do look cool & they ARE very functional.
I'm pondering putting them on a pair of .44 K-Vaqueros with short barrels.

PS They don't hang ya up when reholstering, do they?

Mustang Gregg: I have never noticed any problems with bullseye ejector rod heads when reholstering any of my Old Model Vaqueros, Colt, or the two Colt clones I have them on.

I put a crescent one on my "old model" Vaquero 45 Colt several years ago as the original was to small. They are top notch in quality, some minor fitting was needed, function is 'top shelf'. My "new model" 357 Vaquero came with an ejector that fit 'my bill', so no replacement was done. The MK Tech brand went by another name at the time, it is hidin in my brain right now, but it started with a 'Q'. You won't be disappointed. Hey there Jubal! All is quiet along the mighty Winnebago and Shell Rock-at least till the next time I venture along the banks and 'pop' some primers and caps. Klach Klach Klach! Maybe this week-end-I'll give ya a jingle.

I recently purchased a pair of used Vaqueros (original model) and they have the Bullseye rods installed.
Both revolvers were used in competition, lots of use with cowboy loads. I noticed an issue that will present itself with long term usage. With the OEM base pin and ejector rod, when the cylinder is removed, the front of the base pin rests squarely against the ejector rod tab. The bullseye ejector tab is concave on both sides, and the base pin rests against that concave surface, and the tab puts a side force on the ejector pin. Eventually the opening of the hole will wear oblong.
I trimmed a bit off my base pin, so it drops out just as in a Colt SAA, to prevent any more side wear.
If you install a bullseye ejector, trim the base pin or install a Colt style one.
