I doubt it. Have not tried it though. I recently ordered a Simply rugged for my 4 5/8" 480 ruger. He had a specific listing for the 454/480 Bisley. He only listed for a 6 1/2" barrel. I made note of the 4 5/8" barrel length on my order. Holster fits perfectly as all his stuff does. I suspect the 454 and 480 are thicker through the cylinder. Could probable fit it into a 44 holster. Would stretch things a bit and be very tight at first. Should work though. However if your goal is double duty out of one holster I think the 44 would be a be a rather sloppy fit after getting the 480 to fit.

The 6.5" .480 and .454 have a 'heavy' barrel compared to other Blackhawks. Not sure about either the 4-5/8" version, or how much actual difference it makes. Prolly need to ask your holster maker.

Yes, it will. Cylinder diameter and all else is the same.
The only issue with the 6.5" is with the long ejector, not the barrel.

I can't answer that with certainty.
But, I CAN say with certainty that a SBH .480 6 1/2" DOES fit into the holster I bought for a 7 1/2" BH .45 LC. Doesn't fill it quite to the end, of course, but otherwise I find it perfectly acceptable.

Yay! Thanks guys. That removes one obstacle. New leather can add a bunch. I already have a Simply Rugged holster, and Chesty Puller attachment for the .44 mag. SBH. As it is, buying dies, moulds, and brass will add some, but definitely worth the investment. 8)
