Question about the new Ruger Bisley flattop 41 magnum

[Sacramento Johnson]

Hi all,
I would like to know; is the new Ruger Bisley blackhawk flattop in 41 magnum built on the smaller New Vaquero frame/cylinder, or is it built on the larger first gen Vaquero and full size blackhawk frame/cylinder?

Medium frame, or as you describe it New Vaquero Frame

Don't gat too excited, they disappeared faster than a donut in front of Rosie O'Donnel.
In other words UNOBTAINIUM!!!!

After thinking a bit thought I would mention that the 50th anniversary 44, and there was an early run of 41's (Blued) that were built on the Large Frame.

The 44 Special, 45/45acp, the recently offered 41, and the John Taffin 45,,, are on the medium frame.
This picture for comparison.
Top gun, a 41 Large Frame early (~2006) AccuSport Blackhawk Bisley, not a flattop.
Bottom gun, a 41 Medium frame (2024) Blackhawk Bisley, FLATTOP.

FWIW; There are over 100 offerings on GunBroker.
However some of the calibers are not available, like the 41. They seem to have been bought up. But they were shipped with a bunch of complaints. Mine has been back to Ruger twice and it's still has issues that I will fix myself.
The JT special 45/45acp a lot of the same…

GunBroker has turned into the largest Ruger distributor in the country.

The simplest way to determine frame size is to look at the serial number. Medium size frames have a three digit prefix, while the large frames are two digits.

What he said.
When in doubt look at the serial number prefix.
Two digit prefix: Big Frame, Three digits: Medium Frame.
