Im honestly just as happy having a Bisley 44 as I would be having a Bisley 45. I was looking for a Bisley 44 when I bought my SBH stainless. Having the Bisley in 44 makes my mind up about what my next Ruger will be.......flattop 45 colt!!!! My deal with David at the gun shop was a trade. What I wanted was a Bisley and I have one on the way. I will buy the flattop 45 thru gunbroker in a couple weeks and have the 45 colt covered. I really appreciate all the input and have no fear I WILL have a 45 colt.
