OM Blackhawk

[pistoleer44]

I have a 6.5" OM 3 screw 41 mag. I prefer a 5.5" barrel. Other than sending this one out to either Ruger or a smith, did they make one with a 5.5" barrel?

Nope, just 4 5/8 and 6 1/2"

They did make a 5.5" NM Bisley in 41 Magnum:

Unfortunately it was a distributor special so they're not easy to find.

I wonder who all they made them for. I have a new model Bisley 5.5 in. stainless but it has red wood grips and an engraved cylinder. Sorry, no photo as I am traveling. Probably could not post one anyway.

pistoleer,

Have you considered just lopping it off yourself?. It's a pretty basic job to do if you screw the front sight back on like the single six; you don't have know how to solder and you don't have to reblue the barrel.

That is something that I could never do properly. I would mess it up. Better to just pay a smith and get it over with.

Thanks

Gad, Lee! That SSBBH looks so awesomely good! I'm tempted to hand over my own Biseley 41 to someone so I can have a gun that looks as good as that gem you got there!

TPA.

Thanks. This is an Acusport Bisley that's been modified:

1) Pac Nor barrel with an 11 degree cone installed
2) Home-built aluminum post front sight
3) Rollmark removed
4) #5 basepin
5) 2 lb trigger job
6) Grey laminate grips

Pistoleer, We are probably in a minority but I also favor single action's with 5 1/2" snouts. Granted, the 4 5/8 inch ones pack rather nicely but look like a pug nose dog.

John, I guess we are. To me the 5.5" is balanced just right. I got rid of my 7.5" guns and most of the 4.63, though I still have a couple. The rest of my guns are 5.5", ez to shoot and to carry. Heck, even a couple, of my big bore Smiths, are 5".

I have a friend on this forum that told me it would be a sacriledge if I chopped my barrel.

I told him to trade me but alas and alack, nope.

I don't know........
