The Dragoon trigger guard possesses great style, yet for many it’s beauty becomes a thorn of pain. Given enough recoil, a round trigger guard may bash the middle finger, also. As heavier recoiling loads are touched off, it is grip proportions which abate or or neutralize recoil----and keep the trigger guard from bashing middle finger.
As for the Keith #5 Bisley, it’s tiny trigger guard accentuates it's fat appearance. A larger trigger guard should help it, even an enlarged Dragoon trigger guard. Especially if there is room to push the rear of the bow forward. David Bradshaw

I love the extra length of the Dragoon style grip frame. The square-back trigger guard does not bite my knuckle and I like the distinctive look but, won't go so far as love.
A Dragoon style grip frame with a little extra knuckle room sounds like a winner to me.

IT DOES WORK FOR ME ON THE ORIGINALS: 1847 WALKER; 1ST, 2ND, AND 3RD MODEL DRAGOONS,1851 NAVY I love the way it Looks! I just cant use it on Boomers! I Love the SBH Grip Shape! That was the main reason i put a Bisley trigger guard and trigger on that version. ( SBH-BTG) Make some more room for my middle Sausage! Moves the trigger guard forward bowt an eighth! Agreed!

It Certainly would not be a challenge for me to put a Larger Dragoon Square back in Stretched and relocated form on a Super Blackie. I believe i might have to make some triggers with the classic look yet are moved forward an eighth of an inch to accommodate a square-back trigger and an enlarged and moved forward Guard! A bisley style trigger would probably look out of place huh? Now that i have been debugging the trigger and hammer process im not stuck with whats available from ruger anymore! Might have just started a new project. Lol R

Middle. Prefer the Bisley but the Dragoon is ok even with heavy loads.

I think hes been hording a couple of his New model grip frame biztrigs for his own personal Old models. What a Super Guy! I think the world is going to miss having him slicking wheel guns up when he retires this year! But indeed the K#5 Dragger for the gentleman i was refering to earlier request the Franken Fab size! The trig guard is moved forward a smidge for the bisley trigger which should go well with the bisley Hammer. Whata ya Think. I have to go to a family shindig here in a few. Ill buzz you on the way there! R

Had one SBH, didn't care for it, it met with some files and a polishing wheel to round it off as much as possible.

Ya Cas, those Files and polishing wheels can really change the way a shape is thinking huh? God Bless the man that came up with those wonderful tools! I just wish they could make a file the way they used to brother. seems like the quality of them has gone down hill these past few years. ( cant get them to last) Probably made in China now. R

I must be holdin them wrong, cause I love them. Was all about the Bisley, which i still enjoy, happened across one SBH, now I have 2 OM, 2 NM, SBH converted to 45, and 2 OM 357 converted to SBH configuration. Just added a SBH frame and hammer to a Vaquero, this might be my new favorite! The 357 will be getting further reworked into 401 rimmed revolvers.

I love the distinct look and the extra length. However to make them workable for me, I just remove a little metal on the rear bottom half of frame. Just removes some of the flare and makes them more comfortable and point better. Wish I could post pix.

I thought I liked the dragoon until I started shooting my Bisley 454. The Bisley is definitely the way to go for shooting but I still prefer the looks of the dragoon.

I’ve never had a problem with it. I’m the odd duck that the Ruger Bisley beats the heck out of: Never had a bruised knuckle till I got my first Bisley.

I don't mind it with my 10.5" Max. Dunno as that'd be the case with boomers, though the Max is the only gun I've ever fired with that grip frame. It don't bite me or smack my knuckle or anything, but I really prefer the Bisley.
