Wow, that makes me wish I hadn't bought the standard one in 4 5/8" last year that is now currently back at Ruger getting the grip frame fixed.

I can't think of a cooler combination...

Just out of curiosity, what broke in your grip frame?

I'm half wishing I bought a 4 5/8" Lipsey's in addition to my 5.5", though the stainless gun might be nice, too.

I don't think there's any interest in .44 Special The SHOT Show is looking to be mighty interesting. C'mon New Vaquero...pleeease.

 

[dougader]

Very cool.

 

[rkrcpa]

Aw c'mon now, I can't afford another one of these blasted things. (A Bisley grip would make my 4 5/8 Lipsey's perfect)

 

[Dale53]

Well, I already have a .44 Lipsey Special (5½") and while I prefer the Bisley grip I am now attached to mine and won't be changing it.

Mine shoots like a house afire and I am going to stick with it. I am NOT going to dump it for the first pretty face that comes along. No sirree BOB!!

FWIW

So swap grip frames - build your own. If your current version shoots great now, it still will once wearing Bisley parts.

I'm sure there is a smile on Elmers face. It must be tough to be right over eighty years ahead of the times. Imagine how many aluminum Bisley grip frames Ruger could sell.

[Yosemite Sam]

Oh, that just hurts.

I wonder, what is the likelihood of them doing one in stainless?

-- Sam

 

[MK111]

Yes stainless. I wonder to.

 

[M'BOGO]

That is cheaper than buying the blackhawk and putting bisley parts on it, like I was planning on doing....

Thank's Lee, now do I still order a stainless too?

 

[Mark McWillis]

I strongly suspect that if this is a big success that a stainless version will follow.

Sam,

The grip frame guide pin was drilled improperly making aftermarket grips a no-go. After trying 3 different grips to replace the cheese grater grips that are now standard, I called up Ruger and asked them to fix the grip frame. The worst part was I ordered some simulated ivory grips on the last go-around and not only did they not fit they were chipped in two different places. I think they have the potential of looking really nice if they were not chipped and fit properly.

I probably could have gotten a custom grip maker to fit some grips, but I decided to have Ruger make it right. They sent out UPS to pick it up on their dime and the fellow on the phone said they would make sure it is in spec and fit some smooth grips like I wanted at no cost.

Now I just have to be patient and wait for it to come back. I don't really know how I like shooting the gun since I have only put about 100 rounds through it so far. I have a Bisley .45 Colt Blackhawk that I love and I really like the .44 special cartridge. Thus the dilemma with the possibility of a .44 special mid-sized framed Bisley Blackhawk.
