Ruger SBH got some work

[clintbailey]

Sent my Ruger SBH Bisley off back in the summer to Powers Metal Works for some work, got it back yesterday. Sights got replaced with a Bowen rear sight and Fermin Garza front sight; installed a Belt Mountain #5 base pin; free spin pawl; fresh blue job and action job. I ran about 30-40 rounds through it today and it shoots nice. I think these sights are definitely going to be better for playing around long range. Now for some grips, think I'm going to try out Chig's for this one. Pics suck but here she is...

Found some playing cards laying around at the range, pulled one shot off on each so 5 holes, from 10 yards, gun is better than the trigger yanker for sure

Very nice. Congrats!

Super nice! A Bowen Rough Country rear sight will help a lot, I put one on my SBH and it’s great.

Nice pistol, nice groups too. What load are you using?

These are 240 gr LSWC over Unique, some I had loaded already. This gun will be getting the same load but with newer bullets, as these old bullets are undersized to my chambers. I sent my cylinder and some bullets to Fermin Garza and he checked them all out, said my cylinders were good to go but the bullets I had been loading were under spec, whereas the newer stock I have (different company) are spec'd better to my gun. Same guy that builds the front sights, very knowledgeable and down to earth!

I’ve heard Fermin was a real good guy to work with and that his work was outstanding. I’ve been on his sight a few times reading as much as I could.

I sent mine to David Clements for some work and had one of his custom sight base/blades put on. I’ve been thinking about seeing if Fermin could do a gold dot sight blade for mine.

Is Clements the one that was around Baton Rouge at one time? I know I've heard of him, just can't recall where he was located. I talked to Fermin a few times on the phone, easy to talk to and never tried to talk over my head or anything like some "experts" do.

I don’t remember where he’s out of, I was thinking somewhere in the north northwest part of the US.

Do I understand correctly that the Bisley model ejector is full length? Kicks empty brass all the way clear out of the cylinder? I bought a NM SBH a few years ago and am a little dissatisfied with the short stroke ejector rod. 2/3 length ejection, maybe.

I have a full size Bisley in 45 colt. I have one shot DRT on 9 whitetail deer with it and +P 300gr JSP ammo. If I could only own one gun, it would be my dance partner
