I bought a Bisley Flattop in .44 SPL last year but just could not get used to the grips. Sold it last weekend and picked up a Blackhawk Flattop in .44 SPL to replace it. Same grip as my brace of .44 SPL Vaqueros that I use for Cowboy.



 
Looks familiar ;) . If it shoots as well as mine, you'll love it. Now you need to dress it up with wood/bone grips and a #5 base pin :) .

All .44Spec revolvers from Ruger are on the medium frame (BH or New Vaquero). The BH is a cataloged item by Ruger ... Not just a Lipsey special run :) Wahoo.

Is there a simple way to tell which Blackhawks are medium frame and which are large frame?
 
Bring your calipers ;) . Just kidding. See the flattop on the BH above? That is almost a dead giveaway. If it has 'ears' around the rear sight it is a large frame (excluding OM .357s and small frame .22s) . The serial number will be three digits instead of two . xxx-yyyyy instead of xx-yyyyy. Hope that helps! Again, the ONLY cataloged BH that is on the medium frame is the .44Spec. Lipseys has special runs of .45 Colt/.45 ACP on the medium frame as well and of course the 50th anniversary .357 flattop.

Gunblast - .44 Spec flattop

And on the New Vaquero. Think of the New Vaquero as just a flattop BH with Fixed Sights.... The author has measurements and pictures of the difference is sizes between the large frame and medium frame.

The Flattop .44 SPL is the same frame the original .357 mag was on. The present .357 is on the same frame as the .41 mag, .44 mag and .45 Long Colt.
