My LGS/neighbor wanted a 45cal Kentucky long rifle I had lying around, so I dropped by yesterday to see what he had. I was set on this used GP100 he had that looked brand new still, but then he showed me a promotional Blackhawk Bisley he could order and would sell me at his cost! Between what I have in that rifle I bought and refinished years ago, and the 870 Tactical I will sell to pay this pistol off...I will have $310 of my own money in this:D. It's 45 Long Colt, but also comes with a second cylinder chambered in 45acp!

LOL. I wasnt too Keen on that Bisley shape either....until he said he had one at home and told me to come by and try it out. The different grip angle makes her almost perfectly align the when you draw and aim.

It's nice to have a good neighbor:)

Hay Lonnie.
Nothing personal. I would have shown you how to load and let you use my equipment but I don't think I'd pull the handle for you:D

Nice score Lonnie! I regret selling my Ruger six shooter. It was the first handgun I ever bought when I turned 21. It was a single six with the 22lr/22mag cylinders.

I think you're going to like it.

Congratulations on a fine wheelgun I have the same model myself and it is a great shooter .I also have a 1974 4 5/8" Blackhawk in 45 colt/45 ACP and I shoot them both often. The Bisley gripframe handles heavy loads very well.

HIJACK COMING!!!!!!!

Terry, awesome picture of your pistol! Cool pistol stand and I really like that old grinding wheel/whet wheel. We don't see that many of them in that good of shape around here.

Take care

I have two stainless vaqueros in .45LC with the simulated ivory grips with a cowboy rig. They certainly are fun to shoot, but a pain to eject the spent rounds. Have fun with yours!

You are right they are slow to load and unload but you don't have to look around for your brass:D
