Is there a way to change out the standard single action grip frame and hammer and install a Bisley grip frame and hammer?
Thanks

Is there a way to change out.....
Yup, you need a good screwdriver.
Finding the parts may become a challenge.

...or, do like I did, and buy a Bisley FT in 44 Special...then you will have two.

My lipsey's 44 spl has a power custom number 5 grip frame partially fitted to it and a bisley hammer in the box next to it...

Pics of mine in this stage would help noone.
BigMuddy got it right, IMO. Mine will have a ruger hammer instead of a PC hammer, so it will have the hump, or skirt, above the backstrap. and the hammer will be CCH instead of jeweled.

Here is how a chat with a gunsmith goes on a project like this:
Me: lets fit a no. 5 gripframe!
GS: takes rebluing the cylinder frame too, then the polish level won't quite match on the barrel and cylinder.
Me: so I guess we need to polish and reblue the barrel and cylinder too? I guess we should BP chamfer the cylinder and customize the front sight base and blade too.
GS: that would work.
Me: call you when I get a job.
GS: don't forget the custom grips.

Here is my Lipsey gun with the Power #5 grip frame and a Ruger Bisley hammer.
I still need to have the grip frame blued.

By far the easiest and cheapest thing to do would be to buy a Lipsey's Bisley 44 special and sell your gun.

Oops, I forgot that the Lipsey's flatop is stainless, your talking stainless right? So yes the gripframe, hammer, and trigger, can be replaced if you can find the parts. I think that's true. 8) 8)
