    I'll just have work set up a direct deposit with you guys, so I can start paying for a .45 in 5.5" Stainless, and a 4-5/8" .357 in stainless... Might as well.

    FT .357 4 5/8" has been on my want list since the Anniversary model I didn't buy.

    Nice! Any word on pricing and ETA?

    I was surprised to find very few listed anywhere when I was looking for convertibles over the weekend. I didn't realize they'd gone out of production.

    .45 ACP in a SA makes for a nice combination.
    Is your birdshead a 4 5/8? I thought those were all 3.75-ish? If all you need is a grip frame, Ronnie Wells can get you taken care of.

    I’m in for for the same 2 calibers only both of mine need to be 4 5/8.

    Nope, it’s a 3.75” and I love it as is. I’d like a second ACP 4 5/8” Vaq with a regular gripframe, too.

    You have impeccable timing.

    Just this morning I said “Hey! I should log into p-f and bug that guy from Lipseys to see if they are going to have any more Flattop Blackhawks."
    I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.

    Back during covid times, It took me a couple years of looking to find my 5.5" Stainless Flat Top Convertible .357... I had given up hope when one popped up semi-locally to me, with a box full of reloading supplies, some ammo, both cylinders, the factory case, and a cowboy style belt/loops/holster rig. The rig is nothing fancy (something made in Mexico IIRC) and I'm too skinny to get it to fit me properly, but everything else has been put to good use. I got a pretty fair price, and I've enjoyed it so far.

    I think during covid, they didn't do much in the way of single actions of any sort. Too busy making other guns, I'd guess.

    Good news. I bought one of the .44 Spec Flattops, but I missed getting a 4 5/8 Bisley. I’ll have to fix that on this run.
