Holster Question For Ruger Bisley Owners

[sisyphus]

I just wanted to make sure that my Blackhawk Bisley 5 1/2" 41mag will fit any Ruger SA holster for that barrel length. Didn't want to order a holster just to find that the Bisley frame didn't fit. Thanks guys.

I can't picture a SA holster that interacts with the grip frame. What holster are you looking at?

 

[sisyphus]

the reason I ask is because the SA holsters on Ruger's web shop say NOT FOR BISLEY. Can't find a reference to that anywhere else, but it gave me pause.

Some do some don't probably has to do with thumb strap not working with the bisley hammer

Has to be the safety strap. The revolvers are the same except for the grip and hammer shape. A leather thong safety should fit either.

As mentioned above, it's because of the different hammer profile causing some straps not to fit. The Bisley requires a slightly longer strap.

I have a Ruger Bisley and Vaqueros (original frame size). All my leather holsters fit either model frame, just some straps don't. Some straps have enough stretch or length to fit both.

Agree with the above. I have a Ruger Vaquero Bisley 357 and it fits all regular SAA holsters I have including Hunter, Viking, Triple K, George Lawrence, plus a few I've made. The Bisley fits the one shown on my profile picture which I made for the accompanied Pietta Gambler Royal in 357.
Yes, it has a low wide hammer but any of those mfg holsters have adjustable hammer straps. Shouldn't be an issue unless the holster is super custom for Bisley only.

Here is a photo of my Bisley. I love this holster. It holds the revolver tight.

My Bisley 45 blackhawk convertible 5 1/2” fits in this without issue:
