3.75" SBH

[240gr&up]

Anyone shoot or buy one yet? Curious as to how it feels with recoil? Or how well that short ejector rod pushes out the brass?
I seen 1 locally, they do look neat!

I have one but haven't been able to wring it out yet.
After a lifelong love affair with 4 5/8" SA's, it's going to take a little time to get use to this one. It balances much nicer than my birdshead and Sheriff models, due I'm sure to the unfluted cylinder. It will make a handy trail companion. It also uses the same ejector rod as the two above mentioned models.
The only complaint that I have is the poor fit of the laminated grips, but I had planned on swapping them for stags even before I bought the 3 3/4" SBK.

edit; for grip info

I shot mine the other day. Swapped in a Bisley grip frame two nights ago and going to shoot her again at lunch today. I love everything except the fact that the grips fit terribly.

I like tht Bisley grip. I dropped a Powers Custom Bisley Hammer/Trigger combo in mine last night. I am going to round butt the existing frame and then have some nice grips made for it. I really like the way this gun balances.

That blued kit in the stainless gun looks pretty good. I like it a lot actually. Boy that Ruger factory grip fit just scream "replace me!". The round butt sounds good too. I hope you post some pics.

Nice!!! I was thinking a few weeks ago that this configuration is begging to be "bisleyized" by someone. That's exactly what I would do (will do) when I get my hands on one of those lovely ladies.

If it helps vizualize, here is my Reeder SBH with rounded butt. I just got it back from having them add a non-fluted 44spl. cylinder.
Haven't shot the new clyinder but the 44mag is a handful with standard loads. They also thinned the ejector rod thumb piece to allow easier removal of the cylinder latch pin. I like the look of the slim flat head on the cyl. pin but you have to get a fingernail under it sometimes to get it started out.
This one has the 3.5" bbl.

Try making up some maximum reloads using lots of 2400 or H110 and shoot them at dusk, I'll wager it would be spectacular.

Any groups from those short barrels yet?
