I was watching video about 44 Magnum revolvers, and at 5:24 (just start video https://youtu.be/6ORTeARCPoM?t=324 ) was shown Bisley. But, from I could see, that revolver has a cylinder with smooth surface, no engraving (not my cup of tea anyhow). Looks to me that Bisley shown is not 6 shot 44 Magnum, but rather 5 bore 454 or 480. Also ejector looks long one, as on those two revolvers. Am I right?

Another funny thing, the title is "Best .44 Magnum Revolvers 2024: what I WISH I knew earlier…", but one of Super Blackhawk shown is 3 screw model, decades out of production. Yeah, at 5:49 guy is taking about "hard rubber grips", showing revolver with wooden grips.

At 8:03 shown is S&W with counterbored cylinder and pinned barrel, also decades out of production.

Seems to me this video is one of those piles of video clips without any logic, made by somebody whose knowledge about revolvers is, at the best, very mediocre.

Other then reliable take down/reassembly videos (Brownells, Factory ( Ruger, S&W), solid aftermarket ( M*CARBO, CGW), etc.) and an occasional review from an Honest Outlaw or Paul Harrell or Hickok 45 type, I avoid You Tube gun stuff like the plague.

Its turned into Reddit with videos re: firearms. This one sounds like its of that same level of AI driven misinformation.

Stay safe.
 
There is (well maybe "was") a run of stainless 4 5/8" and 5.5" Bisley .44's without engraving.
You are right, these are production 44 Magnum Bisleys, no engraving, albeit exclusive for Lipsey's:

Barrel 4.62", https://ruger.com/products/newModelSuperBlackhawkBisley/specSheets/0876.html :

May I suggest barrels also 6.5" and 7.5", but with longer ejector like on 6.5" barrel 454 and 480?

Next ones I would like to see are same style revolvers, but in 45 Colt. Anybody supports this idea?

How do you buy Lipsey's Exclusive Rugers?
 
I had two Lipsey's guns on order for months, the .454 and .480 Bisleys and I knew those guns were coming 6-8 months before they were announced. Never got either one. Lipsey's doesn't run on a first come, first served basis. They ship to their biggest retailers first, which sucks.
