41 mags - Bisley version

[cellar701]

Hard for me to believe it's been 40 years of Ruger Bisley... Sharing photos of a couple of my .41s dating from the mid 80s. First a fluted cylinder version:



And the roll-marked version. The grips on this one are especially nice.



Both of these have seen some use over the years (should have adjusted that pesky cylinder latch) and both are great shooters!!

Comments? or share some photos of your versions of the Ruger Bisley?

Following this thread and hope it takes off as I enjoy looking at them. I don't have a Bisley yet....will be looking hard for one come APRIL.

Top down, 44, 41, 45 convertible KBN-455x gripframe (gf) + hammer + trigger swapped, .480, and 44 Mag.

I like Ruger OEM grips and I'm one who doesn't care is a grip fits like a Chig's as long as proud metal doesn't hurt.

Someday I'll find another Bisley gf for a 3 screw.

My only Bisley is a .357. I have a 6 1/2” .41 mag Blackhawk

 

[Hankus]

My SBH .44 and Vaquero .45. I’ve always preferred the Bisley GF for stouter loads.

My first Ruger, or at least the one I paid for when it was purchased.

And my newest purchase with its new set of SR shoes.

I'm a huge fan of the 41 mag but these are the only two that I own that are Bisley models

Here's a Bisley I made, it's a 7&1/2 357 Maximum with stainless steel Bisley frame, trigger and hammer. I think it's the cat's meow. The Maximum is one that Ruger should bring back, maybe a special one time run for Lipseys, or ???

I really like this one! I’m with you maxfam, Ruger should bring back the Max but as a Bisley like yours! All I got for Bisleys is this .45 Colt/ACP convertible. It’s wearing Hogue cocobolo stocks.
