The stainless 5.5 inch Bisley is the perfect Ruger single action in my opinion, I am extremely pleased with this handgun. The grip fit is good, it has a .005" cylinder gap, and the Ruger barrel warning is rotated to the underside of the barrel just above

Excellent pistol that's built like a tank. Ruger large frame single actions have became my favorite handgun for packing in Alaska. With heavy weight hand loads the 45colt should be about to stop anything one might run into while in the woods. The Beasley

Sweet shooting ruger, and typical. You'll need to ream the throats to .4525" with the manson reamer and pilot kit to shoot .452" lead pills down the .451" bore. Very comfortable to shoot hot ruger only loads, if you want them snappy this is the iron to do

Love the Ruger!! I saw this gun, months earlier, for the 1st time while browsing on Bud's site. It was out of stock at that point, I told myself if it were ever "in stock", I'd buy one! A while after that, it was in stock, so I ordered it! Great product!!
