I'll throw my Bisley on here. Only reason I have this gun is because of Junebug (Can't thank you enough!!).

It is in stock condition right now, but shoots pretty well as is. Gotta get the trigger done, and throw on a Belt Mountain #5 pin, and I should be set. 45 Colt shooting 335gr WFNGC from Cast Precision.

Great looking Hunters guys. I'm trying to join the club. Trying to find a Bisley Hunter in 45 Colt. So keep your eyes on the look out for me.

Will do! That's how I got mine! Junebug found one! They do show up from time to time!

I'd like to have mine posted on here if anyone could do it for me.

ratgunner- PM sent.

raptortrapper- Very nice looking SBHH, and 45 colt has so much potential. Have you hunted with it?

Thanks! I agree about the potential of the 45 Colt. Load it so light that my wife can shoot it, or beef it up and take anything in North America, and most things in Africa!

Haven't hunted with it yet. I got it late in the season last year, and I didn't get my deer tag this year, so it will have to wait. I am taking my 500JRH and 460S&W for bear and elk this year. I have some work I want to do on "The Bisley", so I want to wait to hunt with it till all the work is done. Most likely will be using it next season though, even for bear and elk.

This is an awesome shooter..



The 44 and the 45

Nice set of SBHH's and good grouping.

I saw a 45 SBHH Bisley that John Linebaugh built a five shot 454 cylinder for. What an awesome idea.

This SBHH addiction thing just doesn't end, does it?

Here is the pics of ratgunners SBHH. Real nice piece. Looks so natural in the deer stand.

Thanks again Sir.

Wizzard- Don't feed the sickness. I don't even have my hands on my 44 yet. Very nice though.

Yes but the .45 colt is the Holy Grail of the hunters, not many made and don't come up for sale often. The last n.i.b. one on
E bay went for around $1400.00. .44's are easy to find the [local candy store] has 3 in the case now.

I'm the highest bidder at this time. I'm sure it will go to someone else though.

Just trying to help. lol

Hmmmmm lucky im cash strapped or I would be bidding.... good luck badubet... hope it goes to somebody on here.

$1,400 ? Hmmm I think I may go look at something tomorrow at my local shop.
BTW I'm assuming you meant Gunbroker not EBay ?

I have never understood why Ruger didn't do another run of the .45 Colt. There is certainly enough interest.

Yep sorry about that .My fingers work faster than my brain.

Sold for $1100.00 ... well bad did you get it?

I did not. I fell asleep and was outbid 30 minutes before the end. I'm still looking.

Mine in 45 Colt, my go to hunting revolver. Burris Fastfire sight.

Sorry to hear that bad I sat up and watched it go up... went for what I thought it would go for... did they sell for the same as the 44 mag sbhh?

no. they sell for a good bit more than the 44 and 41 hunter

I just sealed the deal on a Bisley Hunter in 45 Colt. I am stoked!

Congrats on the .45!!!

Lucky dog.... some day

Here is my .45 colt

Very nice. Very nice indeed.

I just seen on gunbroker both a Hunter model with a bisley grip and a plow handle grip in .41mag. I didn't even know they produced it in .41. Very interesting that would be a good compliment to my .44. I think!!

Was smacking the human torso gong at 200yds pretty regular yesterday with my SBHH.
Lots if fun. Makes the closer shots seem easier.

Finally got the scope mounted, spring kit installed, trigger job finished, and the throats reamed. Shot it a few days ago and was pleased with the accuracy.

I want one in a .45LC in the worst way. Sadly, Ruger doesn't currently list that as an option on their website.

They come up for sale on GB every now and then second hand. Be prepared to bid and overpay.

I don't understand all the hype. For what they are asking in a 45 Colt you could buy a good used Freedom Arms in 454 Casull and have a cylinder made in 45 Colt. If you watch, deals do come up for a 454 around $1200.00. Just my opinion. Again I don't understand why Ruger does't do another run. I think they are out of touch.

Try finding any Ruger .45LC in stainless. You won't fine one in production. My 'gun money' comes mostly from bounty trapping beavers and that is limited with a full time job and 2 teenage girls so I won't be paying double retail.

Perhaps they will make a run soon.

I agree its a lot for a Ruger. But retail on the hunter was $899 i believe several years ago for the 45 Bisley hunter. So in todays money I paid full retail for a used gun. I'm happy with that.
As far as Ruger making another run. I wouldn't hold my breath. Ruger has never done things that made business or marketing sense.

Might as well post another pic of mine. Here's my 45 Colt BisHunter/Wyo Combo Holster in the Brooks Range on a walk-in Dall Sheep hunt 2 years ago. Couldn't quite close the gap on a ram. 277yds out, no more cover, my partner shot the ram with his 270. At least we packed home sheep! Still trying to connect on moose, bear or sheep. One of these days!







The 45 Colt Hunters were a special run commissioned by Lipseys. Mine is one of the first run.

Here is some other info I found on the net a few years back. It's an email response someone got from Lipseys.~~~~~~
Reply from Jason Cloessner @ Lipseys regarding my 45 Hunter :

"We indeed have those guns commissioned by Ruger. They sold extremely well. There were two models, one with the standard Super Blackhawk gripframe and one with the Bisley gripframe. There were a total of 603 of the standard ones made and 279 of the Bisley models. The odd numbers are a result of overruns of parts and we decided to use them for the extra units. One interesting piece of Ruger trivia is that to my knowledge it is the only 45LC that Ruger made with non-fluted and/or non-engraved cylinders. Enjoy your new gun, its about the perfect all-around hunting revolver made."

Snyd,

Mine right before its first blood.
