Very nice, gopguy! I bought this one in early May of 1992 (grips in pictures are aftermarket). Ruger had just previously done a small batch of blued guns in this configuration, and I missed out. When I saw this one, I grabbed it. Mag-Na-Port, and others, were making money cutting down 7 1/2"...

Sold to lwstarks 1st or others on backup list.

Picked up a Snake Slayer 3 1/2" barrel with the 3" chamber a few days ago and shot it yesterday. It's important to do some pattern tests before carrying for self defense. Recoil wasn't bad with lead or jacketed .45 Colt reloads (about 900-950 fps). Recoil was about the same with some 2 1/2"...

Talk about a slam dunk in sales for Ruger. Stainless .44 Mag Bisleys in all barrel lengths would sell like hotcakes. Sign me up!

Beautiful gun and great photo! I think I may need one of those!

I've been hoping for a stainless flattop .44Sp, too. Just got my blued and would love a 4 5/8" SS to go with it and my 24/624s.

Green Mt. Guns in Lakewood, CO (303-985-7240) had a 5 1/2" on the shelf at $469 as of 10/09/09.

Absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing.

I just picked up 5 1/2" 520-19166. Case dated 07/31/09 Same shop had 4 5/8" 520-19376, but it is spoken for. The Nov 2009 issue of Combat Handguns magazine has 4 5/8" 520-17510 as the centerfold (now that's some bathroom reading material!!! I must be old:( ). Great article in the CH magazine...

Here's a .41 project gun for $250. http://glocktalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1101125

Was in a local shop today and I think what I saw were two Army Specials, both fixer uppers. One in .41 Long Colt for $375 with super tight action, but with a patina finish (likely a police gun stamped with officers name and "Denver" under bbl -very small stampings) and a .38 in better looking...

Wow, great story and thanks for posting the ad! I remember as kid in the early 80s going into the Dave Cooks Southglen Mall and looking at the various S&Ws and Rugers and dreaming of the day I could own one. In 1986 my dad and I went in there after such an ad and he bought me a Rossi 92 Saddle...

I have a model KRBN-455WX Convertible with serial # 48-2396x Case envelope dated 02/09/05 Warning notice on side of barrel. I looked at several the shop had and picked the best. All the guns had polishing flaws, dings, scratches, etc. Quality control was really bad at this time. Mine still...
