Hate to be 'that' guy
But, no Ruger Bisley? Fortunately there is a fix for that.

Colt46 asked:
Quote:
Many years ago I set up a .45 in 4 5/8" and 7 1/2" barrel lengths with Blackhawk, Super Blackhawk, and Bisley grip frames. Tested them each with mild to fire-breathin' handloads to see which suited me best. After all the smoke cleared I found I didn't like the Bisley so much, especially with heavily loaded heavy bullet loads, 350 gr. bullets at about 1100 fps or so. Here is the 4 5/8" Bisley in Bisley attire: I know, I know, the Bisley grip is supposed to be the best for stout loads, but didn't pan out for me.

Strange affliction
But I have heard that some genetic anomolies exist out there where it is possible to suffer from such a disease

Well, I did that. But then I wanted to learn more, and from firsthand experience. I tried nearly everything I had heard, shot everything from wax bullets to 3Fg blackpowder, and everything was just so much fun I didn't know where to stop
Uh oh... Bob then you have been bitten by the gunittus bug. A very nasty but that goes around. It leads to a downward spiral to collectvius syndrome. The only cure known is 'bankruptitus'. And that cure is worse than the disease in many respects. Deaf

I think I'm gonna go with Deaf Smith's post, and up it to your contrary post with the .41 Magnum...same holster, different caliber!!!
Personally, I'd go with a RUGER SuperRedhawk ALASKAN in .44, but I love this thread and all the pix of all the guns, whatever they are. Damn nice collection.

Aside from life's necessities, what good is money if you can't buy guns with it.

.44 Special, .44 Magnum, .45 Colt........
Those are all lovely, I only have .45 Colt myself.
ImageUploadedByTapatalk1367989000.736520.jpg There is a 20" Rossi 92 that goes with these two, but I don't have a pic. I just happened to be cataloging my irons into a spreadsheet the other day and snapped this. |
