Lipsey's New Bisley 3-3/4" Blackhawk

[Old Fuff]

If bear stompin' is your thing, you'll still get at least 1000fps with a 355gr or 1100fps with a 330gr.

Out of a 3 3/4" barrel? You may but I won't.

Comfort-wise, all else being equal, I'd rather shoot heavy loads through a 3¾" Bisley than a regular 7½" Blackhawk.

If I'm in bear country (and we have a few here) I'd generally avoid them, but if that fails I'd much rather be open carrying a revolver with a 5 1/2" barrel. Just so happens I have a Super Blackhawk that meets that description, and I have considered changing the grip frame to the Bisley style, but I'm under no great pressure to do it.

If by chance a .44 Special Flat Top should come my way with a fluted cylinder and 4 5/8" barrel I'd be more likely to switch out the grip frame on it - unless of course it came that way in the first place.

It's perfect!!!

True. Half the time, cases don't eject cleanly in my 4-5/8" .357 Blackhawk.

It's not a gun I'd look to for fast reloads.

I wouldn't look to any single action for fast reloads. But I have been looking for a .44 to go with my Marlin....
