Bisley single six

[zoner]

i sat down the other day with my 45 BH Bisley convertible(blued) and my stock 5 1/2 " stainless Single Six, started switching parts around(i had a small Bisley hammer in my parts box) and now i have a two toned 5 1/2 inch Bisley Single Six that is becoming my favorite handgun and i haven't even fired it yet....the combination of the bisley grip frame on the smaller frame revolver has a sweeeeeeet feel and look to it. will post pics later...got me to thinking about a 4 5/8" Bisley Single Six in 32 H+R Magnum. That would be a very nice trail gun and carry gun when you are hunting,hiking,etc.

Sounds neat.  Do you have a photo?

I was doing some tune-up on some of my Rugers last weekend.  I had my 44sbh, 32 mag ss, and one of my .22 ss convertables apart cleaning and polishing.  I was quite suprised how much stronger the loading gate spring is in the SBH.  Considerably beafier than the SS's. 

I got my trigger pulls down to a more desireable weight, but still have a little bit of creep to deal with.  I might have to make me a jig that I can snap the trigger and hammer into so I don't have to take the guns apart so much.

when the bisley vaqeuro first came out i bought one(45 lc) but couldn't see the sights well so i bought a 4 5/8" NMBH 45 convertible, took em apart, and ended up with a 4/5/8 45 convertible bisley(i still have it) and a standard vaquero that i sold...the parts you need to convert BH to Bisley cost about 200 bucks so the way i did that 45 is definately the way to go economically....for the single six i spent some time comparing parts and part numbers and it appears that the only part that is different when you go from large frame bisley to small frame bisley is you need a small frame hammer(got mine at brownell's)...well,not appears that is the way it worked out for me...will try to get some pics up.....

Zoner,  I have a 24 year old unused Bisley .32 H&R front sight - If you need it - it's yours!

As soon as my .32 Mag returns from Gallagher, I will have what started out as a .32 Single Six that has become a two tone .32 Mag Bisley that freewheels.  Linebaugh helped me install the Bisley grip, I put a Bowen rear sight on it and Gallagher is finishing up the hammer swap, freewheeeling, and refinishing.  It's been accurate just about up to the point of becoming boring, but then I don't bore easily with fine shooting iron.

mine is two tone..blued bottom,stainless upper,I'm still trying to get a pic up here but left the data cable for the camera in Arizona....fire the little bisley yesterday for the first time...feels like it just belongs in my big hands...i really like the large frame bisley but this is something else indeed

I have had a Ruger Bisley .32 magnum for some years now. Easily my favorite sixgun. Accurate to the extreme very little recoil. The gun fits my hand better than any gun I have owned. It balances better to me than other single action including the larger Bisleys. All the weight sits right in the hand. It is just plain simple to hit with this gun. It shoots as well using either .32 special brass as with magnum brass.
