Stronger Frame Ruger Blackhawk or Ruger Bisley

Wondering which frame is stronger the Ruger Blackhawk 45LC made in 98 "NON-Flattop" VS the Ruger Bisley.

Bisley is defined by the grip, trigger and hammer. Neither have anything to do with strength.

If you are talking flat top vs. full siz BH/SBH frame then the flat top is smaller thus weaker.

Bisley grip/trigger/hammers are fitted to both.

Like bill said theres no differnce in the strenght of the based on bisley vs plow handle or vaquero vs blackhawk in guns that are based on the same frame size.

You may be new to sgl. actions, but you are in the right pew asking about Rugers ;D . Im sure someone here has seen or maybe even done it, but Ive never seen actually seen one messed up by shooting any sane loads. If you want to shoot heavy and cant afford a Freedom Arms the Ruger will do it for you likely until you cant stand it.
