Quarterbore
Blackhawk
What seems like a long time ago now I had a set of the four Acusports including the 357, 41, 44, and 45 all with the stainless 5.5-inch barrel in the Bisley Blackhawk. I had to sell a bunch of guns due to a car accident and medical bills including all but my 45 Colt.
Over the years I've seen additional runs of the 357 and 41 and many runs of the 45 Colt but never the 44 Mag. I note we even had 3.5-inch Bisley in 44 Mag recently.
I am trying to understand why this is? For me, I find the 5.5-inch guns to be a good length so that I get good performance from a round without being very nose heavy. I also appreciate that the CAS shooters use 45 Colt a lot so it explains the reason for so many of these in 45 Colt. I am just surprised after all these years another round of 44 Mag has not been made.
Any guesses why? Has 44 Mag fallen from favor that bad? Would the Stainless Bisley in 44 Mag be more popular with say a 6.5 barrel instead? I just don't understand it. I still enjoy my 45 Colt but there are times factory 44 Mag ammo is so darned nice to just buy and shoot.
