Quote HistoryQuoted: I think I need a 45 colt… Ruger 5050? I do need a Ruger centerfire… The Redhawk is decent, but I don't think the design compares well to a S&W N-frame or Ruger's other revolvers. I think Ruger's best .45 Colt is by far and away the Bisley Convertible:  It's a tough beast, this frame is more conducive for actual shooting than the traditional SAA/Blackhawk frame, and the Bisleys have nicer hammers and triggers. I briefly considered selling mine last year and I'm glad I didn't. Prices are way up, the number of SKUs in current production are way down, and it's just a really cool gun I know I would have missed. I don't think you should disregard the various Italian replicas, either. Some models are nicer than others, but they have nice SAAs and the Schofields are art. I also kind of want a Thunderer:

I bought a brushed aluminum grip adapter, but it doesn't fit right. I think it was made for a round butt frame. It's got a gap along the edge. I think if I file it down at the very bottom where it contacts the frame and grip, it may match the contour a bit better. The square butt frame curves a bit more in the front compared to a round butt.

Well, in light of Joe Biden's recent comments about "high caliber" 9mm, and their ability to rip lungs out, I feel much safer shooting my .44. And since it's a revolver, you can't shoot or reload them fast.

I picked up a Henry All Weather 44 on Friday and loaded up some 240gr SWC’s up yesterday. Took it out to the range this morning along with one of my 29-2’s as this is Revolver month.
This is after the range, hence why the 29 is dirty…..  Also, a mid-range 44 load. 9 grains of Win 244 under an ACME 240 gr coated SWC. I got 1285fps average from the 20” Henry and 1058fps from the 4” Smith. |

Not sure if you have Tyler or a "Brand X" but in any case it's nothing to worry about. They still function just fine. Trivia: that part of the grip frame that the grip adapter fills in is called the "sinus" of a revolver. There - you learned something new today!
