I have a "distributor exclusive" Bisley blackhawk but how can I find out which distributor it came from. Model number or part number searches don't seem to help.

A serial # search on the Ruger page just says shipped in 2008.

Back when these were first available, these were known as AcuSport Bisley's as Acusport Shooters Supply was where they were first available. We kind've learned by accident, these were also available from William's. I owned both, but nowhere could I tell which ones were from who, other than where they were originally ordered.

Probably Accusport on that one.
Ruger's serial number lookup page would have let you know what the model number is.
So the catalog number will either be a KRB-455W if it is a .45, or a KRB-415 if it is .41 or a KRB-355 if it is a .357. The box label on the end of the box should also have the catalog number and model number.
