Everyone's taste varies but you can see that what I have believed about rifles for my adult life... walnut and blue will never go out of style, also applies to single action revolvers. I go to the Dallas Safari Club Show every year I can and I see 100+ year old guns built by the the masters at Holland & Holland, Rigby, Purdy, etc and they are magnificent and expensive. I think these single actions will be the same in a hundred years... classic, timeless, works of art.

I have always thought that for the lower 48 states, which in all reality is the only place I would aver be able to hunt, a stainless 5 shot bisley in 45 Colt would be the closest thing to a do all gun. While a few have come across my lap over the years, I never seemed to hang on to them. Thanks to a good friend who actually grabbed this one with me in mind when it first came up for sale, I have one I think I will hang on to. Very nice walnut grips for now but it is line for a set of sheep horn grips when its number comes up. Base gun: Ruger stainless large frame bisley Gunsmith: Alan Harton Conversion: 5 shot oversized 45 Colt w/ free wheel action Barrel: 5 1/2" banded Front sight: TLA style post Rear sight: Bowen Base pin: Belt Mnt. locking #5 style Grips: Walnut by Alan Harton

Base Gun: Ruger OM 44 Mag flat top Gunsmith: David Clements Grip frame: Bisley conversion with Clements hammer and trigger Barrel: 5 1/2" with full length ER assembly Front sight: Clements with double gold bars Rear sight: Bowen Case Color: Turnbull Base pin: Belt Mnt locking #5 Grps: Exhibition walnut by Clements Robb This 44 is just about Perfect IMO. It is The way I would like to have one made for myself, caliber and all. I have both a 4.5" and 5.5" Bisley FT 44 SPL and one day will have one of them resembling a Very close twin to yours pictured above. This is just a PPP for my needs and, its Easy on the eyes being so Sexy Is yours a 5 or 6 shot? Original barrel or custom? Do you get Full ejection of spent brass? Thanks BigBore44

That Redhawk is one fantastic looking gun!
Ray, in answer to your question the Clements gun is a 6 shot with plenty of length on the ejector rod for full ejection. I do not know which brand of barrel the gun utilizes in that I had an octagon barreled, long cylinder NM 44 by David that was browned rather than blued and another forum member really wanted it so I swapped him for this gun jsut so I had a Clements gun in my "Quest" journey. I sent the gun back to DAvid for the bisley conversion, coloring and a few other things but the barrel work had already been done when I got it.

Early gun from late 80's. ovate barrel with sculpted front sight base. Grips are black micarta made by Bowen Blended ejector rod housing screw. Bowen wasn't sure if the coloring job was done at turnbulls or back when he did case coloring in house. Closeup of ovate barrel and blended ejector rod screw.

Bowen best quality 50 special with ovate barrel. Early gun from late 80's. ovate barrel with sculpted front sight base. Grips are black micarta made by Bowen Blended ejector rod housing screw. Bowen wasn't sure if the coloring job was done at turnbulls or back when he did case coloring in house. Closeup of ovate barrel and blended ejector rod screw. That looks a lot like the one Ross Seyfried wrote about in G&A...
