Bisley questions

Are all the Bisley grip frames the same

Will a Bisley trigger work in a regular Blackhawk?

Ruger factory Bisley g/f's are all the same.
As for the triggers,,, I can't remember the correct answer,, and I've never tried it myself.

Bisley Trigger, is a Bisley Trigger.

Hammer's there are 2;
1. Small for the Single Series, 6, and with custom/ gunsmithing 7,9,10.
2. Large for the rest, Super, Blackhawk, Vaquero, NV.


Will a Bisley trigger work in a regular Blackhawk?

Easy, Yes, if your using a Bisley Gripframe.

Yes on a Blackhawk Gripframe too, but will require "chop, cut, re-build" better known as custom gunsmithing. :wink:

In other words, the Bisley Trigger is slightly longer and more curved and longer in the area where it meets the GF hole.
To use the Bisley trigger in a Blackhawk GF, one needs to shorten the trigger length a little, and either shorten the material at the GF hole -or- open up the hole in the GF.
I have seen both methods, I prefer chopping the trigger as it is the cheaper of the two parts, cleaner look, and IMO easier task to perform.

I put a Bisley trigger into a Blackhawk gripframe by simply filing a longer trigger notch in the aluminum. Easy.

As Jimbo posted, it's an easy adaption to any Ruger standard or birdshead grip frame.

Just lengthen the trigger slot to the front. I use a Dremel tool with 3 of the Dremel carborundum cut off wheels stacked. Elongate slot about 1/8" from the top of the trigger guard strap, and clean up with a small, fine flat file. You may have to slightly trim the lower tip of the trigger to keep from touching the trigger guard.
