19MAY update:
Shipped it off today, took me a while to get some last minute parts and find a good day off of work to make it up to fedex.

1. Fitting of Bisley grip frame
2. Fitting of Bisley hammer
3. Fitting of Bisley trigger
4. New base pin install
5. Free spin pawl install
6. Will go to Chigs grips for some fitted Ironwood Burl grips.

Hoping to have it back before summer ends.


I was able to shoot a Bisley and plow handle Blackhawk side by side and I definitely prefer the Bisley.

Have a new grip frame and trigger/hammer kit incoming.

Should have it back in a few months. Should be one of only a few Bisley 10mm if any.

Very excited.

I gotta thank Cee_Kamp for all the help along the way and answering all my revolver questions.

I have had Ruger Blackhawks for many years. I got a .45Colt/ .45ACP convertible in the mid 1970s. I also had a source for fairly cheap .45ACP ammo. I have put thousands of rounds thru it. I got a .44 Special Bisley a few years ago and swore I would never buy anything but Bisley's again. I think the grip is far superior to the regular Blackhawk grip. Herrett's used to make a grip for the Blackhawk is also very good. I like them as well or better than the Bisley grips.

I hope I did this right, I tried to post a link to the ebay page of ads for them. None of them are mine, I do not sell stuff on ebay. I wanted to show you what they look like, but posting a picture on the computer is way beyond me.

The Herretts grips fill in the area behind the trigger guard and make shooting the Blackhawk a lot more comfortable for me.
Herretts does not make them any more, but I have bought them on both ebay and gun broker.

I hope I am not breaking any rules by posting this link, but I was not sure how else to show what I am talking about.

I think that Hogue's make a similar grip out of rubber, but I like the Herrett's better.

I think it would be wort the effort to get a pair and try them.

I also like your idea of getting your gun built.

Update in OP.
