Recently Lipseys & Bobby Tyler teamed up to put together a dream gun for lovers of the 45 bisley. Can't say I was a charter member like my good buddy Rey Garza but I can say I've always been a 45 fan. After my recent trip to Africa I've taken a renewed interest in the old 45 Colt caliber & when Lipseys & Bobby got together to offer this once in a life time 5.5" bisley 45 with only 25 guns being made I'll tell you I got the staggers wanting one.
Today Santa came early & I ripped out to the range, pulled the rope on a plate rack at 25 yds & missed at exactly 9 o'clock but 3 clicks of windage corrected that little error & the next 4 said "good night". Amazing trigger, 2Dogs front sight that I hadn't even painted I was so excited to shoot it & the beautifully fitted sheep horn stocks felt great, I mean great!
After the initial 5 rounds of 7.0 grs of American Select & the 255 gr cast I plunked in 5 more Panatela's, this time loaded with 18.5 grs of 2400 & the 260 gr Keith, a load I've shot for many, many years & taken a lot of game with. The first two shot low, hitting the splash plate. I held at 12 o'clock & ran the next 3 plates, easy, peasy!
Normally you would just crank up 2-3 clicks on the rear sight but no, with this excellent 2Dogs front sight you just go home, measure your sight & slowly dress down the front sight a wee bit at a time, these sights have plenty of room to get it just right. The rear sight had already been clicked up several clicks, I didn't want to touch it at all.
I still have an elk tag in my pocket & they are still a couple thousand feet above me & coming off the mountain right at dark so the chess match is still on going. I need about one more good snow storm plus the rules have changed. Instead of using the FA 41 magnum with the scope I'm now hoping to use the Lipseys/Tyler custom 45 with iron sights to close the deal. Maybe this new gun will bring me luck.
