Thanks guys for the responses. I found a new Ruger 45LC/45acp convertible for $542.00 its stainless/steel with the higher front sight for different bullet weights it is 5.5 inch barrel and comes with false ivory grips. This may be the one I get.
That sounds like a good one to get. I personally really like stainless.
Once upon a time, I had two sweeeeet Ruger Bisleys, on in .45 and the other in .44. I liked the .44 better because the cylinders were fluted and I just prefer that appearance. I had my .44 and a 3rd Gen. Colt SAA .45 in my Doskocil hard case and we were coming back home from a weekend at Mom and Dad's. There was rain, but I don't recall it being a frog-strangler. I just brought it in from the vehicle. A few days later I got them out and both had spots about the size of a penny or a nickel rusted on their barrels. I like stainless.
