I handled one very similar last June of his, man was it tempting. Id go for the regular Blackhawk configuration for the better sights for my aging eyes but it would be a dandy package for sure for a working gun. I didnt get a chance to shoot one yet, I will though...

I like that a lot. The radius on the bottom of the grip frame is classy.
Be nice to see a pic of the rear sight treatment. I'm glad it got some attention because there is room for improvement over the factory notch.
I like the feel of a half cock hammer even on a new model.
Can't say I've seen a case colored front sight base like that. I know Bowen used to sell similar bases that could be fit with your own blade.
First thing I'd do to the gun is contour the trigger guard and hit the whole thing with a scotch brite pad, maybe throw a little vanta black paint in the rear sight channel. I know people see bead blasted finishes as good for working guns, but they seem to show rubs marks worse than brushed.
Rough out holsters have grown on me, especially since I prefer lined holsters.

That has to be an aluminum grip frame - is it?

Beautiful guns, and a very handy size. A Perfect Packin’ pistol size.

Good looking for sure, but (correct me if I'm wrong) it shouldn't have a drag ring around the cylinder for a new gun like that. My cheap Bounty Hunter doesn't have one.

I can't speak for Bobby, but I suspect it's been tweaked, played with, experimented with, handled all kinds of ways in the process of being prototyped (which I wouldn't be surprised if that one was the prototype) and then the cylinder just wasn't refinished after all was said and done and pics taken. All Ruger New Models will have some sort of turn line. IIRC my Stroh Best Grade with the same 1/2 cock conversion is timed to have a drag line about 2-3mm before the notch leade. They're not timed like some other guns where the bolt drops in the middle 1/3 of the notch, and on the flip side they're not as apt to go out of time as those guns either. |

Any ideas on how that grip frame compares with a standard bisley, #5, or any of Ronnie's other frames?

It has had the snot shot out of it. Lot of testing. Took a bit to get the shot height perfect. It is the prototype. Your gonna love the rear trough site window. |
