Bisley Blackhawk 45 long colt

[Matt Tatum]

Hey guys, quick question.
I have recently inherited a ruger Blackhawk bisley model in 45 colt. No box or info on it. It came with an extra cylinder that is fluted. I can't find any info online about it. It appears to be 45acp but before I go chunking rounds through it I wanted to confirm. Can anyone advise?
Thanks for your time,
Matt

if there is a step that's pretty far up the cylinder and a 45 acp case fits into it perfectly I'd say it's a safe assumption that it is indeed a 45 acp cylinder.

You can see the steps in this photo.

Thanks for the reply. I attached two photos of mine. 45 acp fits in it for sure.

That would be a "convertable" model-- the bisley's are not that common, could be a lipsey's or talo edition

Thanks for the info guys. Shot some acp rounds through it today and it shot great.

I really appreciate the help.
