Maybe if’n it was a flattop like it says. Also not a 7-1/2”.

Why no "engraving" and unfluted cylinder? Not up on new models but seems like it has been tweaked some.

Almost all Bisleys are Unfluted, someone has removed the engraving from the cylinder and roll markings from the barrel. The barrel has been shortened. Grips look like sanded down factory panels? It might be the handiest most accurate pistol ever, it just doesn’t match the description given.

I'm betting this was a regular 5 1/2" Blackhawk that someone swapped grip frames on. But as I say that they almost always have fluted cylinders and that one has what appears to be a Super Blackhawk unfluted cylinder on it. So either someone polished the roll mark engraving off (not as easy as it appears) or the fitted a different cylinder and rechambered it. Hard to say what that gun actually is other than not exactly stock. Heck it appears to be missing the barrel legalese as well.
Anyway you slice it the current sales guy doesn't know what he has and it actually is a pretty cool configuration of a gun. This one might be a gem or a turd once you get it home...

And...it has the "Franken-bisley dip" between the grip frame and the mainframe.
It's been through several cycles and hasn't sold...

I've seen a far worse in a "semi-custom" like this one... Hell, if he'd lower his starting price to a more reasonable amount & actually take the time to give an accurate description, it'd probably sell for a worthwhile price in the current market situation.
