  Only the .44 magnum and .45 Colt Bisley models are still cataloged.   With the manufacturer for the grips no longer in operation and the other SA's getting plastic grips, I'm wondering what is going to happen with the Bisley (and Hunter and Bearcat) grips.  Anyways, yes, the Bisley is still a cataloged model but as before, they don't have large production runs of them.  I do believe we'll see more of the Acusport Bisleys next year though.

In the 20 or so years that they have been made---I've only seen at the most 5 in person(stores--ranges--etc..)---not a popular or available model----I can see Ruger cutting them as they have been giving quite a few models the axe lately.

what a shame! one of my favorite centerfire pistols of all time. had one with smooth cyl. and stag grips, with 7.5 in. barrel, in .45 colt. wish i still had it!!
 it was a great shooter, and put the smack on a few pigs too.

The Ruger website still shows the .22 version along with the .44 Mag and the .45; have you seen a printed catalog that does not have the .22?

I would think the website would be more up to date but perhaps not.

Odd as it seems I'm thinking of getting a set of Bisleys in .22 and .45 for target shooting. I do wonder if a red dot scope can be mounted on them?

i ordered a scope mount through midway.  i only used it for load development, then took it off, for holster carry. i probably still have the mount at home. if your interested, let me know. i'll be home in a few weeks.
