I'm not rich either and supermodels don't return my calls as often as I'd like. I don't have an answer either, But I bet if you did have enough money it could be possible.

Are my SBH's considered super models ? If so, I'm in ! Ok, so are we talking a Ruger Bisley gripped revolver with a double action or an early Colt piece with a Bisley grip frame ? Some of their earliest DA's didn't look much different from their SA's of the time. Are we thinking Ruger Bisley grip frame fitted to a SRH ? |

Two reasons I can think of. First, It would be an answer to a problem that doesn't exist. Most double action owners shoot their guns single action way more than double action. Second reason is, it would cost more than most people would be willing to pay for one.

I agree with your second reason, money. If many DA guns get most of their shots fired SA, why not a SA grip frame ? Still, nowhere I'm interested to go, but the theory is worthwhile. I had a 44mag RH w/dot sight in the 80's that may have suited me better with a Bisley grip frame or any SA type of grip frame. Well, not birdshead. Welcome Charlie !

I sure hope this isn't a troll....If not, welcome to the Forum...
Bisley was designed as a target gun, not a fast cycling defense gun...

"Why doesn't anyone made a double action Bisley?"  I'd say because they haven't been paid to make one. You'd first have to choose between the original Colt Bisley and a Ruger Bisley.. Then the only limitation would be finding someone with the capability who would take your money to make what you wanted... Expect it to take a LOT of your money...

I'm stating the obvious... I would suspect one would make a good hunting & or competition gun... but the Bisley grip would not help with concealed carry

Based on experience shooting the 500 and 460 S&W beasts it doesn't sound like a good idea for me. When I shoot DA I grip the gun different and open the palm up to all sorts of extra stimulation from recoil. My hands don't like it. I can shoot them in SA mode all day but someone else can shoot the DA stuff.

A double action hunting revolver is shot single action. Some marksmen and markswomen simply shoot a double action grip better than a single action. For others the issue is moot, as either DA or SA lays ‘em in there; again, both types fired single action. Couple of decades ago I shoved a drawing across the table proposing Ruger contour the Redhawk backstrap in a single action curve. Didn’t collect a yawn for my effort. The subject “why not a single action backstrap on a DA revolver?” remains viable.
Rapid double action for powerhouse rounds in the hunting field is irrelevant. Except for one place----defense against a big bear. The reason for a single action backstop on a hand cannon is to save the base of the thumb from magnum damage. An honorable consideration if you plan to throw lead in old age. I dropped the subject after my one approach to Ruger, yet the idea lives.
The way I would pose the question is this: is a single action backstrap viable on a 3-pound big bore double action?
Answer: Yes.

To take the thought further, what we might end up with is a SA with a swing out cylinder. I can wrap my mind around that'n. Not reaching for the wallet yet though.
