Next month I'll be attending John Linebaugh's annual Big Bore Shoot at Monster Lake Ranch in Cody, WY. At that time I'll take delivery of my new 500 Linebaugh. It will be configured much like the one you see below, brass frame and all, except it will have a Bowen Rough Country rear sight, a Keith No. 5 style front sight, and the grips shown below.




The wood is English Walnut.

Wow. Beautiful revolver. A high-dollar one, too. Is that on the Vaquero Bisley frame? And are the grips made by John or Dustin? Just curious. Those grips are show stoppers for sure. I love it that they aren't all shiny/glossy.

Bet that'll be fun to shoot! Good luck with it, and congratulations on getting one. Love to have one myself, though I have no idea what I'd do with it.

The base gun was an early Bisley Blackhawk in 45 Colt. The grips are being made by Pam Nelson who is now working with John. Dustin ranches full time and as far as I know no longer does grips.

That should handle anything you run into! Nice!

Those grips are definitely show stoppers!

I love the feel of the Bisley grip frame in my hand! (45 Colt is as large as I've gone with them though!)

Just received my 500 Linebaugh

Just got my Super Grade Ruger Bisley in 500 Linebaugh from John. It is everything I hoped I'd see.
