Lee Martin: My advice Frank....bring your own ideas to the forum. Citing a bunch of Jim's theories won't get you far here. I understand. I just wanted to formulate a conclusion in my mind, but to do so all objections needed to be answered. And Jim provided some of those objections. But if I bring an idea to the board, will I continue to be hounded with, "Jim, is that you?" Jim and I probably have our differences. I can tell by some of his responses. But it never, ever gets personal or nasty. I just don't understand that part of it between you guys and him. But then again I don't run gun business or work for a publisher either.

Frank, when you regurgitate Jim's arguments almost verbatim, what did you expect to be called? I am not looking to "hound" you as I have better things to do with my time. There really isn't a good reason for any of these threads to get nasty IMO.

Grip frame preference is like the old boxer or briefs argument. There are no rights, no wrongs. Don't use this opportunity to post pictures from your underwear drawer, Axe! ;D ;D I think we can all come together and agree on that, Whitworth. Regardless of gripframe preference.

I wouldn't hitch my wagon to a guy that claims that he can look at a primer and tell if it is a magnum or a standard primer simply by the color.. This picture proves that both standard and magnum primers of the same brand are the same color Yet he continued to argue that they were different even after this pictures was posted. Proving that he didn't know what he was talking about Posting pictures of groups on the internet doesn't make one a ballistics expert as he has proven over and over

Quick question -- is the Ruger Old Model Super Blackhawk grip frame the same as the BFR? Would the Huntington grip frame extension on an OMSBH turn out like Lee's BFR?
TIA,
Paul

Can't help wondering what drives all this I'm right and everybody else is wrong idea... Kind of makes me think of Isaac Asimov's "Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do." It is okay to be different! Keep it clean, slap up that objective evidence, a little subjectivity is aceptable. Don't wear your heart on your sleeve. We all might just learn a little..

TIA, Paul They are close so I would think it would turn out the same as long as the fact that it is blued steel wouldn't keep him from doing it.

Blued or stainless either one can be modified

I love the look and feel of Rugers Bisley grip but confess I have not fired it with anything other than hot .45 Colt loads. I also really like shooting the BFR .480 with the rubbers it came with. While I dont go ape about the looks, I am able to shoot it without any glove with full house loads and it doesnt bite me at all. It has enough weight to back up MR's claim that it recoils less than a SBH, at least to me.

Whitworth: when someone makes incorrect statements or conculsions based on a preference, it should be combated. Challenged is the better word. Besides, combat implies both sides have a free chance to go at it. But just clubbing someone over the head because you don't like their ideas teaches us nothing other than whatever someone is trying to get us to stop thinking about a topic, people then think about that topic even more. When you ban people, they become more popular. Combat in the sense that it was used reffers to posting info in direct opposition to incorrect info and conclusions

You're all wrong! The Bearcat grip is actually the best at handling recoil. The proof is in the fact that gun barely even rolls in my hand. I can shoot it all day with no issues. You all are missing the boat messing with Bisleys, BFR's, Fermins undies, grip extensions and XR3 Red's.
Hopefully I have resolved this issue once and for all for everyone involved.
You are all welcome.
