De-Bisleyfication
« on: May 24, 2021, 03:37:27 PM »
Has anyone converted the New Model Vaquero/medium frame B'hawk from Bisley to SAA-style grips?  I'm contemplating something along those lines, just not sure how doable it is.  Will a standard Blackhawk gripframe fit?

Quite doable.  Been done.  You will however, need to also source an OEM Vaquero Hammer and Trigger.  The Hammer and Trigger take quite a bit of work to fit.

Thanks!  Forgot about needing to swap the hammer/trigger, will have to look at parts cost/availability (or just get used to the Bisley).

You can also modify the bisley hammer and the plow handle grip frame trigger slot to accommodate the bisley trigger.  If you do a web search there are posts on Ruger forums on the subject.

If you go ahead with that mod, I will consider buying your gripframe, hammer and trigger, to help defray the cost for you.
Much obliged,

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.  The gun is a 5 1/2" 44 special.  The balance would be about perfect for me with the old cast aluminum grip frame (perfect would be a 6 1/2" 41 mag).  The steel Bisley frame is heavy enough it throws everything off just a tad.  Next weekend I'll have the chance to try out a New Vaquero that has been set up the way I'm thinking I'd like to go, I'll see how it balances for me.
