WOW.........BEAUTIFUL HANDGUNS!!!

I REALLY LIKE THEM BOTH FOR DIFFERENT REASONS

Stainless one would be just the ticket for up here in Alaska, nice grips also!
Blued/Case Color & nicely figured wood girps and that front site, I really like that front sight!!

Just got to win the lottery now......

They have a real "down to business" look to them, no frills, just shooters.  Now, what did they start out as, one of the Rugers?

both started as bisley vaqueros  one was a .44 and one was a .357 Dusty thats what they are WORKING guns both are shot ALOT. The blued one does have a few flashy options but you can ask Cammel if it still doesnt get road hard and put away wet!

Reaaaaal Niice!....Always admired the Custom 500's.

Grips look comfortable....I have never had the pleasure (or is it the unpleasure) of shooting a 500.

My experince is with the 454...How does it compare in recoil too a FA 4.75" 454 shooting 360 Grain Corbons?

Those are some great looking guns.
Maybe someday I'll be able to afford a gun made by Bowen or Linebaugh.

The only thing you should feel when shooting insurgents is recoil.

Lloyd,

Those are just plain freaking neat -- they beg to be picked up and shot.  How's the Bisley hammer with 500's recoil?

they can bite you with heavy loads if you loose grip it. If you hold them like a guy should there no problem though

Cheese, is this a joke buddy or have you really been so unfortunate to not have read all of the stories of hunting with the various linebaugh caliber guns, let alone shooting them.  If it wasn't a joke, you are in for a treat.  Plenty of info on them out there.  Have fun with the researching but be careful, you may end up with a few of the big ones if you don't already. 

Lloyd, the guns are awesome as usual.  If you don't mind me asking, who did the grips and the scrimshawing?  Thanks buddy.  GS
