Looking to hunt with a Ruger SA 45LC next year. Have been reading a lot on this gun all over the net.
Ideally I would like a SS Bisley with a 7"+ barrel, but the few ways I see to build it are too expensive right now.
Want to start with a Blackhawk SS with the 7.5" barrel. Would like to slowly get it improved basis all I have read and want some advice on reasonable places to get it done.
Throat doctor seems a good place to start with the chamber bored properly for under $35 if no one has had any problems with them.
Next, I would like a trigger job...may start with disconnecting one of the hammer spring legs and see what it feels like, but ultimately will want a better job.
Down the road the SS Bisley hammer and grip frame from Brownell's looks like a nice improvement, but no way for this coming year.
Bottom line...how much should the base gun run me? Should the Throatdoctor get my business? What would be your next step?
For the short term I also plan to use assembled rounds for target and hunting and would love advice on a low powered reasonably priced cast bullet load and a slightly heavier load with cast bullet/large meplat for Whitetails out to 50-60 yards or so.
Also want a nice holster rig in leather for this gun to ride on my right hip for all of my woodswalking. I plan to keep this setup for a long time and will spend money for good leather. Buying all this at once requires some delay in all the custom work I want done.
Sorry to ask for so much at once!! Help!!!
