Ruger 45 colt question

[glockky]

Does anyone know if the Ruger Bisley 45colt/45acp blackhawk is on the 357 or 44 frame. I know the lipseys models are on the 357 frame and you can't shoot the hotter 45 colt loads

If it's a .45 and a flat-top, it's a medium frame. Far as I know, none have been built in the Bisley configuration up to this point. So it should be a large frame. The only mid-frame Bisley Blackhawks have been 4 5/8", 5½" and 7½" .44Spl's.

When I get a chance I will post a pic. There on gunbroker the 45 colt cylinder is unfluted and has engraving on it

It's a large frame gun.

I had one. LARGE frame. Mine was blued and shot like it had eyes.

Yep, a large frame. If it has a 2 digit prefix it's a full size frame.



Same goes for the Blackhawk frames. I gave my .45LC Blackhawk the Super Blackhawk treatment by adding a SBH wide spur hammer and a custom unfluted .45acp cylinder.

Looks like on there website the three digit prefix is the larger frame

If you're looking at the New Vaquero's on Rugers site, they're mid size frames with 3 digit pre fixes.

Check with this seller before you bid on the one you're looking at.
