Mrs. Claus told me to go ahead and get a Christmas Ruger for myself, so this is the one that I chose. I have been wanting a 357 Bisley for a while, and I felt this one was priced fairly. My plan is to buy a second Bisley cylinder and have Gary Reeder convert it to 356 GNR. I may even have this one drilled and tapped for an optic mount. May just use a no drill mount. Haven’t thought that far ahead. I will definitely leave the 7.5” barrel. I will add better pictures when it arrives in a few days.   |

Am liking your grips. Nicer fit than the BSBH's here. Prettier than the laminated, deemed necessary on the 480's. Enjoy, Merry Christmas !

I like your idea ! and .357 GNR Cylinder would be cool ! I think i would just have gary make you one ! But that,s just me ! I have a copy of gary reloading manual, and the .356 and or the .41 Gnr are very interesting ! I bthink a 180 grain hard cast or Deep curl bullet at 1600n or maybe more would be just tons of fun !...

I will look into both options. I honestly considered sending it to Ruger to have them factory fit a new cylinder just so I could send it to Gary for reaming. Probably by the time I do that, I’d probably come out just as cheap having Gary build me one from scratch.

Nice gun! The 357’s are getting harder and harder to find in that configuration.

I was about to click buy it now on a 480 Super Red and saw this one. Decided I could get a 480 another time.
