One that got by us!!!
Last year The Shootists had a 35th Anniversary gun made in a stainless .327 Single-Six with 4-5/8" barrel and Bisley grip frame. There were 100 made and they had their own serial number sequence of SH35-001 through SH35-100.
Apparently, Ruger had an overrun of 40 guns and the distributor had Ruger turn them into a 7-1/2" stainless Bisley .327. These are numbered SH35-101 through SH35-140 and are Ruger model 8167. They were sold out in April 2020! Where did they go??? Need to see pics of one!!!
To the victor go the spoils!!!

Re: Rare gun alert!!
I remember reading an article on those someplace but cant recall where. It refreshed my interest in Bisley framed revolvers. Didn't Tyler do the work?
Re: Rare gun alert!!
Here you go!! Many of you know I really like the #10 serial number Rugers so this is the closest I could get in this special 35th Ann. issue.

Really lucky, all were almost gone when I found out about them from a Shootist friend of mine.
