The standard answer:
Get both
Get both
Well went to the lgs today to buy a .22 ended up with a deposit on something on the opposite end of the spectrum. Ruger sbh bisley 44 mag,3.75" ,Bowen sights,like new. Tag said it is a montado edition. But looking around i can't find anything about a sbh montado bisley. Paying 700 out the door, put 500 down. But still need to go and have it added to my permit.

Now after getting home and letting the excitement die down I'm kinda second geussing myself. It would be a fun and a decent side arm for the woods. But a 22 makes more sense. My lgs is really good about switching deposits so that would be a non issue. Honest thoughts,what do you guys think? Keep it,or just putpny deposit towarda a single six convertible? She sure is purdy though
Single action plow handles do not work out well for lots of people in big bore thumpers, which is part of the reason Bisley guns are readily available, but rarely as pretty as that one.
Which is why I suspect that gun was traded in after only a few rounds. Maybe not. It would probably be a pleasant gun to shoot with .44 specials tho.
Yes, but I would think that gun would be better to look at than to shoot.I'd go with the .44mag (and I'm not a particular .44mag fan, much rather have a .41mag or .357mag). Yes, the .22 will probably get more use and be more practical. However, .22lr is everywhere, you won't have trouble finding something you want later. That .44mag has some character and isn't your run of the mill .44mag. It is a pretty gun (how often can you say that about a Ruger), and you probably won't run into another like it. Get the .44mag, and start saving again for a .22 soon.
I have that revolver. Fun gun to shoot. Its a handful with full power loads. Load it down in the .44spl range and its nice. Its the only Bisley grip revolver I have but I got to say I like it a lot.View attachment 778899
