I am a Colt SAA and Bisley man, always have been.
However, I horse traded into a NIB Ruger 41 Magnum w/5.5" bbl. Along with it came the complete set of parts for a Bisley grip conversion. A friend was going to do this, and lost interest.
My plan started off innocently enough; ream the cylinder to a tight throat 45 LC, and have my gunsmith make me an octagon barrel and ejector rod housing for. Little smoothing on the action, and a very nice 4.75" bbl packing pistol with bear killing loads. I do NOT own anything in 41M, but this voice in my head keeps whispering what a fine cartridge the 41Mag is.
Help...
