    45 Colt New Model Blackhawk Bisley and a heavy 45 Colt load?

    I have had great results shooting a 325 gr. Missouri Bullets cast load with 8 gr. Unique in my Henry and Rossi R 92 lever rifles. I like the load when using a suppressor on my Henry X 45 for quiet 1000 FPS out the 17 inch barrel. I have shot a few thru my Bisley NM Blackhawk which is also a 45...

    Ruger QC and my 2nd New Wiley Clapp SP101

    Yep a casting flaw and I would ship it back. No reason that should have made it out the door!

    New Model Blackhawk Bisley 44 Special handle 44 Magnum?

    Well here is my combo for .44 Special fun.... 1873 Uberti/Winchester 44 Mag/Special carbine and the mentioned NM Blackhawk Bisley. Love the way that Bisley handles and shoots with it's 4 5/8 barrel. That load on far right is a 300 gr Missouri Bullets cast loaded in 44 Special case over 11 gr. of...

    New Model Blackhawk Bisley 44 Special handle 44 Magnum?

    Thanks Cholo! Think I'm just going to stick with the slightly hotter 44 Special loads for the revolver and 1873 Carbine when I take both those out. I do have the old faithfull SBH with 7.5 barrel for 44 Mag. Also have a new Anaconda that is a real hoot to shoot!

    New Model Blackhawk Bisley 44 Special handle 44 Magnum?

    Did some digging and found that the new .44 Mag Vaquero is built on the larger frame/cylinder than the other 357-.45 Colt Vaqueros. So 44 Specials it is. I do have a S&W Model 69 44 Mag which is roughly same frame size but lighter than the 44 Special Flat Top...send it to Tyler and get the...

    New Model Blackhawk Bisley 44 Special handle 44 Magnum?

    Yes I know the chamber isn't reamed for Magnum length but looking to be well over built for 44 Special pressures could it handle mid level 44 Magnum? The cylinder OD and OAL are same as my NM 45 Colt Vaquero. Is the cylinder size same for the new 44 Mag Vaquero? Frame measures same top strap...

    NM Bisley Blackhawk FT .44 Special

    Think I will hang on to it for a while and it will be great to have a 44-40 swap cylinder for it...if I get lucky and it gets made.

    NM Bisley Blackhawk FT .44 Special

    Bought mine back in 2012 and looking around on GB and Guns International they are hard to find now. Good shooter and think I spent $520 bucks wisely. On a waiting list for a custom made 44-40 cylinder for it so I can swap in when I have the 1892 WCF 44 Winchester out. What is the value on these now?

    Ruger Flagship Revolver

    Well I have a Cimarron 1872 Colt OT that I swap out barrels and calibers with. Started as a .44 Special with 7.5 barrel but now can also be a 3 inch barrel 44 belly gun or a 5 inch 38 Special. Nice conversion shooter!
