Recently acquired an anniversary flat-top Blackhawk and I am thinking about putting a Bisley grip frame and hammer on it. Looking for guidance on which GF to order.

Also looking for suggestions for a smith in the north central part of the state.

First thing I would do with that Ruger is check cylinder chambers to see if they are all the same size ..In the area where the bullet would be.
My Blackhawk was all over the place on measurements .004" differences shot like crap.
Then slug the barrel and see if the slug gets tighter where the barrel attaches to the frame.

My Ruger was very tight there leading to more crappy groups.
Before I would spend a penny on another Ruger pistol or Ruger parts I would measure everything.

That is my opinion and if it all checks out and shoots very accurate then update it the way that makes you happy.

Guns that do not shoot accurate will not keep you happy unless you just like eye candy.
