Bisley Blackhawk .44 Special question......

[Mus408]

Looking at one in the 4.62 length and will this handle the "Skeeter" loads without any issues over long term. I hear these are built on the medium frame but didn't know the strength of them.
Loads would like to be 240 gr.@ 850-900 FPS.

Power pistol will get you the same velocity while still staying in category 1 pressure levels.

Yes it will handle the Skeeter load just fine over the long term. All I shoot in mine.

 

[Hondo44]

I agree, Skeeter loads are fine for your med frame BH.

Thanks!
I have a SBH 7.5 inch barrel as a great combo revolver to my .44 Mag Henry Carbine and was looking
for another with shorter barrel. Also like the feel of the Bisley grip which I have in .45 Colt and think this
.44 Special/Bisley would be a nice addition since I can shoot Specials if I need to in the Henry rifle.
I am looking at 2 different revolvers right now and am leaning towards that Bisley/44 Special much more.
