Being a fan of the .44 Special, I bought one of the Ruger Bisley Blackhawks in that chambering a couple of years ago. I thought I would like it; but after a year of shooting the gun, I had to admit that Bisley-style grip frame just did not suit me. Guess I'm just accustomed to the Colt-style. The gun also exhibited mediocre accuracy. Trying different loads didn't help much. A couple of my most accurate revolvers have been Rugers, so this was a further disappointment. I wound up selling it at no loss, so there is apparently continued demand for them. Hopefully, the new owner will be happier with it.
A local shop has a three-screw Blackhawk in nice shape I may pick up as a replacement. It's a .357, but could always be converted to .44 Special I suppose.
