I recently purchased a Ruger 5.5" SS Bisley 45LC Limited Edition, and today I started looking it over and figgerin' what to do to make it run like a scalded dog.
So, first things first, I took some measurements:
At this point I ran aground because I don't have the 7/64" ball driver I need to remove the Bisley grip frame! So, more to follow after I pick one up tomorrow.

So, first things first, I took some measurements:
- All throats pass a 0.4505 plug gage, do not pass 0.4515
- A 0.4415 plug passes through the bore smoothly
- Ruger Base Pin Diameter: 0.248 - Belt Mountain 0.2495 base pin fits perfectly (as expected)
- Cylinder Gap: 0.005 +/- 0.001 including play and runout
