I realize it's not a bigbore or a .32 but I think it would be a darn fun and useful revolver so that's why I'm plugging it. I've been wanting this for years and every so often I go on a little mission to make it a reality. I pester Mr. Fifer and Jason at Lipsey's and ask everyone else to do the same. I never get much traction but I'm hopeful that it'll happen eventually. I know we have some well connected folks here that have helped some other limited production guns get off the ground so I'm asking, how about a little squeeky wheel action for the .357 Blackhawk Hunter. The .38Spl/.357Mag has got to be one of the most popular revolver rounds out there and truth told it's all most folks need in a handgun so why not throw us a bone and take our money? I'll buy two and I can't believe an initial production run wouldn't sell out pretty quick. Thanks for listening. Chief, I chose not to wait. Picked up a spare Bisley 44 spl and made a 7 1/2" 357 out of it.

I've thought about trying to scrounge a Bisley grip frame to convert my 6 1/2" .357 Blackhawk.

I have a 357 Bisley & love it but it's heavy. I removed the Bisley grip frame & replaced it with an alloy one from a Blackhawk. Love it even more now.

Got some thoughts running around in my head. Once I get some projects completed I may just have to get serious about this whole thing. Love to see some pictures Two Dogs. Watched your video Creeker, it's one of the things that got me to thinking on this.

That looks very nice. I was wondering if that long of a barrel on a flat top might look too long but it balances out just fine. Thanks for showing it off.

No worries. It's always worth asking.

I thought this to be a neat idea. Then I got to thinking, which can be bad. I would be interested in a 327 Bisley hunter more so than the 357.

That wouldn't suck, either. I still kick myself for not buying the .327 Blackhawk I fondled when they were first released.
