McCandless Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 I was browsing in a local toy store and saw a pair of "Old Model" stainless vaqueros I really like. (They's purty!) But they had Bisley hammers on 'em. Rule book says "Ruger Super Blackhawk/Montado style revolver hammers (i.e. lowered and widened hammers) are acceptable on both adjustable and fixed sight model revolvers." But I didn't see any specific mention of the Bisley hammers. I can change out the hammers easy enough, and have a nice pair o' shooters, but just wanted to see if I have to. Thanks! .

Branchwater Jack SASS #88854 Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 They removed the tying of bisley hammers to bisley grip frames a couple months ago Good to go!

No Horse Hair, SASS #77464 Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 If somebody took the time to install the Bisley hammers they may also have used the Power custom hammers that have half cock notches, a very worthwhile addition in my book....No Horse Hair
PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 As an added bonus...this is now legal as well (? from another forum) ... before anyone asks:
Branchwater Jack SASS #88854 Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 PWB, If pictures are worth 1000 words, you just put together the April issue of the CC!
PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 PWB, If pictures are worth 1000 words, you just put together the April issue of the CC! This would be a follow-update to the April 2010 CC article clarifying the Bisley hammer/grip-frame restrictions that remained in place at that time...regardless of the approval of the Ruger Montado/SBHK-style hammers on 'plow handle' & 'birdshead' revolvers at the 2008 Summit.
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 I wonder ifn its legal to have Bisley style hammers on the Ruger Old Army? Sorri PWB, I just couldn't resist! ..........Widder

Bad Hand Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 ROAs with "Bisley" hammers are even better with "Bisley" grips too. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/90north/Bisley1_zpse9413ab9.jpg
