I just saw a bisley blackhawk ss 5 1/2 BBL in 45 colt / 45 acp with laminate grips the price 519.00 it is new is that a fair price ? Also just out curiosity is it safe to shoot 45 super out the of acp cylinder? they said it was an acusport edition . thanks , superdown

  With availability of these becoming less, that's a fair price.  It is indeed what's known as an Acusport Bisley.  Acusport is a distributor and they contracted Ruger to make these uncataloged models exclusively for them.  They're also available in .44 mag, .411 mag, 45 Colt and .357 mag.   This one, having the laminte grips, is from the second run of this particualr model.  The first run had the regaulr wooden grips.  I believe this one you've found also will have the bbl warning on the underside rather than on the side.

yes the warning is on the bottom of the BBL . superdown

Well i went back and put it on lay-a-way today really a sharp looking gun i will pick it up on the 1st of march . Did the first run of this model have the embellishment's on the cylinder like the second does ?  I really like the grips and the grip frame much better than the standard/super blackhawk i was just about to break down and either buy both the bisley hunter and super blackhawk or a bisley grip frame from brownells and make my own version but luckily i did not have to. superdown

  Except for the Hunter models and the Bisley Vaquero models, all Bisley configured Rugers have the roll engraving on the cylinder. Well, normally...  Years back, some standard Bisley models did get shipped with regular fluted cylnders.  Good grab!  You're surely gonna enjoy it.
