I think we should all pitch in and get alukban some grips.

Here's my right out of the box 5-1/2" Bisley in 45 Colt distributed by Williams Shooter Supply. It does have one of Dave Clements tall front sights I installed. In front of it is the 335 LBT LFN I used in AK six years back to take my 62" Alaska Yukon bull moose, a 285 gr LBT WFN and a 230 FN for ACP.



The Trijicon RMR (RM08G) with the green 12.9 moa triangle gives my aging eyes a nice aim point when using the top of the triangle to aim with. The mount is by Amerigun USA.



The whole package, revolver/285 gr/RMR work quite well too at 25 yds.

1-Half a Ruger, (python barrel)
2-1963 single six
3-Ruger Lightweight single six, alloy frame.

Last October, I swapped into an old heavy-frame Vaquero with the 4 5/8″ barrel. Of course, it is a 45 Colt. Thought I better get a good photo up, before it gets beat to hell like all my other working guns.

"The Good,The Bad & The Ugly" all in 45 Colt

Only Ruger I have. Stock 45 Colt I got last summer. Enjoy the hell out of it. Going to eventually upgrade the grips as soon as I find something that really interests me.

The pics of the Bowens have me lusting for something like that to hunt with!

And another one that just got home from Alan Harton. OMSS converted to a 5 shot 41 special. Not the best photos, but I only got to hold it for a few minutes.

Very cool!

another gun i could easily lust after

I see a lot of love for single action ruger revolvers. If I may ask, why or what attracts you to single action vs. double action revolvers?

I like both Ruger SA's and DA's. As to why I like the SA's, it's one of those things where when you pick one up it just feels right in your hand.

.45 Colt Bowen Tuned
.44 Special Stock
.41 Magnum Bowen Tuned

Two plain vanilla .45 Colt Rugers. 4 5/8 barrels, box stock.

Who made the stocks on the Bowen 41?

Balance and recoil handling. The only thing a DA revolver does better than an SA revolver is unload and reload quickly. That is a nice advantage, depending on your intended use, but if I'm shooting a truly hard-kicking cartridge, I'm going with an SA all the way.

That said, I own about twice as many DA revolvers as I do SA revolvers, but that may be because S&W wasn't making SA revolvers in the mid-20th century.

Those old Bisley Vaqueros are sweet shooting guns.

Ronnie,

I bought the grips for the .41 quite some time ago from Lett or Ajax. Bought three different pair, different wood. All were graded fancy+. Knowing there is a slight variation in grip frames I figured of the three sets of grips that I bought the pair that fit the .41 best would have a new home and the walnut set has been on that revolver ever since.

Because the OP was on Ruger revolvers. For DA's I much prefer S&W's but do own a couple of Ruger's.
