This is one of my favorite field guns, Ruger Blackhawk 4&3/4 inch 45 Colt

Is this an older, large frame, or newer small frame?
I have a blued, older .45 convertible, as well as a newer stainless flattop.
The older blued one is a serious shooter. This surprises me, due to the amount of play in the cylinder. For whatever reason, it is a serious shooter, and loves 230 grain Blazer Ball with the ACP cylinder.

The newer one has tight throats and I need to ream it out. It seems to like Blazer ball as well.

Anybody want to swap a stainless grip handle from the new small frame, for an aluminum one that will fit? I would prefer to lighten it up just a bit.
