For our big 45 Conversion we install a new barrel, a steel ejector rod housing with checkered ejector rod button, and an oversize 5 or 6 shot cylinder. These are done on Ruger™ frames only and we suggest the Bisley™ model for its superior grip and recoil control either in the Blackhawk™ model with adjustable sights or the Vaquero Bisley™. With a 5 shot cylinder and a 7 1/2' barrel you can expect the following velocities:

 

240-260 gr. JHP   1700 fps    27 Knock Out

260 gr. cast          1750 fps    29 KO 

310/320 gr. cast  1600 fps    31 KO

340 gr. cast          1500 fps    32 KO

370 gr. cast          1400 fps    33 KO

 

Conversion in blue: $3,800

Conversion in stainless steel: $4,200

LINEBAUGH CUSTOM GRIPS

All Linebaugh custom grips are made exclusively by John Linebaugh in his shop. His familiarity with the balance and recoil levels of his custom revolvers gives him a hands-on edge of how perfectly designed grips should feel and be made.
