I had one in .45 Colt. I changed out the alloy frame with a stainless one. However, I found it to be too long for my use. I still have a Simply Rugged Sourdough pancake for it, but it is left handed so it will probably stay in my "box o holsters" for the time being.Does anybody have a Blackhawk with a 7.5" barrel? I'm wondering if that's just too long to be practical. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

A guy I know has one in .44 magnum that he's looking to sell, and I'm doing some research before making a long drive to go see it.
I'm interested because I'm looking for a companion revolver for my Marlin 1894 in .44 magnum.

Lipsey's likes Bisley grip Blackhawks and could maybe be persuaded to restore the 5.5" 44 Mag Bisley like I have. It's perfect for serious loads, except I prefer the way the Flat Top and Vaquero index on the loading gate.One of these days I'll pull the trigger on a 5.5" SS 45 convertible Bisley large frame as soon as Ruger starts making them as I don't believe they do currently.
The last 4 3/4" SS 357 I had possessed a Phenomenal trigger. It was under 2lbs with the spring "detensioned". I kept it hooked on as that's just a little too light for me.

a bit of blue loctite on the screw will prevent that, too.

if the screw is tight against the barrel, it will not shear. if the screw is loose, it can shear. the loctite keeps the screw tight against the barrel.No amount of LocTite can prevent the screw from shearing off. It does make the stub somewhat more difficult to remove, though.
