Wow that is a nice one! Do you reload for .45 Colt? Have fun!!

A big wow on that book cover....I have both those guns!!!

Be careful,, them 45's can get addictive! I have a "few" myself, and I dare you, no,, I double dare you to shoot it & NOT smile!

Looks like you need new grips as those don't 'fit'. Minor, as you can always get a custom set that fit . That said, congrats. Nice revolver. You'll enjoy it. Nothing like good o' .45 Colt.

What model number is that? And which distributor has exclusivity?

Thanks

That gun pictured has a Bisley grip frame,, and looks to be a Williams exclusive. HOWEVER,, I noted the 38 prefix in the serial number,, and that usually signifies a 357 caliber gun. Interesting!

Yep, went to serial number Ruger Bisleys and looks like that is so (.357 model #s) starting 2013 :
