For many moons I was searching forum for this picture. And finally I found it! Not on forum, but on my hard drive :mrgreen: .
I always preferred Ruger Bisley over any other configuration of SA revolver. I do have now SBH stainless, 5.5", with Bisley grip, hammer and trigger swapped from Bisley Vaquero. Going this way I have also a grooved cylinder, something I never liked on Bisley and 7.5" SBH. However, I found that, at least for me, Bisley hammer spur does not have optimum design. I liked hammer spur on SBH better. So, when I saw first time a picture of custom made old Flattop Bisley, I said "this is it", the best configuration of single action revolver. Well, now I am retired, and didn't stop thinking about it. Since I would like to have a revolver for shooting range, most likely it will be Flattop stainless 357/9mm, converted to Bisley the same way.
Anyhow, here is the picture of that revolver I would like to share with you:
If I remembered correctly, this revolver was done by Alan Harton. Hammer is modified by welding curved back. Hope that gentleman who owns the gun could tell us bit more.
