Sounds like fun or loud but why not.

Do not know about the grips.

If he doesn't get on this thread soon, PM Whitworth. He has more experience with the BFR revolvers and should be able to answer your question.

I recently purchased a BFR in 44 mag. It has rubber grips. The gun is a very fine piece of workmanship and shoots good too. I love it. Paul

I have a 454 BFR and the grips are not the same as the Ruger. Ruger grips will screw onto the BFR frame but the fit is unacceptable. Magnum Research's price and policy on their grips is terrible. Otherwise, great gun.

Anyone know what it takes to convert a BFR to Bisley?

It' s a painful process adapting the Bisley to the BFR. The best fix is to let Jack Huntington perform his grip frame mods to it. Fixes it nicely and it's better than a Bisley in that you still get that vertical profile, but with a lot more room between your knuckles and the rear of the trigger guard.

Thanks Brother, I'll email him and find out if it is something I can financially get into before I throw down money for one of these beast.

My understanding is that they are a very high quality firearm.
