Hey Guys Here is the New Model 1860 you have asked about, and i see what the appeal is now. It feels very nice in the hand and i beleive it will work well with small hands as well. It is a lot shorter from backstrap to trigger. Probably not good for powerhouses but i believe i will mount it on a 38/40 to get a feel with grip. sure looks cool. Thanks to everyone who helped with the patern John L and Mr Peterson you guys are the best man!   |

RDW, would you have a comparison picture or an overlay drawing between a NM Bisley with a Bisley trigger vs a Bisley with a Blackhawk trigger? I'm thinking about one of your aluminum Bisley frames, but now I'm curious about the possibility of one with a Blackhawk trigger.
I have heard some Ruger guys complaining about the Ruger factory aluminum grip frames on the standard Blackhawks, but I always thought the one on my 4 5/8" .45 convertible Blackhawk made it balance just perfectly. I also have a Stainless Bisley .45 convertible, and have often wondered how that revolver would balance and feel with an aluminum grip frame.
If I end up purchasing a grip frame from you, it will eventually be put on another 4 5/8" .45 convertible to be somewhat customized. I'll have the recoil shield and loading gate scalloped for a light weight revolver that I can shoot heavy loads from if need be.

Hey Guys Im going to post this same post to the 1860 thread so every body catches this. But a bud of mine brought me some SBHs to Pimp for him and i thought i would do a test drive on a new grip frame. The New model 1860. Those of you who helped me out here, GOD BLESS YOU. Sack Peterson, sir you are a Stud of the first order. I timed this process cuz ive been asked how long it takes. I spent 1 hour and 17 minutes here and just bolted it on after black magic marking the mounting surfaces. Then scratching a line on it, then removing it and cutting down the sides and top. Then a quick polish and made a quick set of panels of some kind of wood ( i dont know what the hell it is) out of my pretty wood pile that yesterday i vacuumed down with my new gooey pooey wood stabiliser. Cooked them for an hour this morning and letem sit till this eve when i drilled and contoured them a smidge. then slicked em up to the frame and polished together. Nothing fancy just a quick fit job AND WOWEEEEE. Man i dont remember who it was that suggested the 1860 frame which i have never paid any attention to BUT!!!!!!! Thank you. This is a box stock 44 mag Super Blackie and i think it just enhances the crap out of it. Bradshaw there will be one of these in your party pack bud. you are going to like this frame. It feels great and looks right at home on this revolver. I wanna see this on Ole number 18 just once. Guys tell me what you think. You all started this. hahaha. you created a monster here . i think im going Nuttttz. whats next. haha. To Much Fun Man. R    |

My son just informed me it was out of the madagascar Rose wood box.
So thats what the wood is. it just a little lighter than most of mine i have used it on.
It came from one of my knife making suppliers here in houston. they scower the earth for funky wood and are really good at it.

Ronnie Wells designed an instrument to solve a vexing challenge in hand surgery. To the benefit of patient and surgeon both, the tool works. In the process of Ronnie’s introduction to workings of the human hand, he learned there are 8 basic patterns of human hand. Ronnie may correct me in substance and detail. The subject arose in our continuing discussion of Grips, Conservation of Anatomy, and Conformation of the Individual Hand. I asked Ronnie if there was a way to narrow grip frame shape or selection to an individual hand. Steve Herrett hand the shooter send a hand tracing for his custom stocks. Jack Hunting may prefer likewise. But I never heard any rhyme or reason for patterning.
That is when Ronnie jumped in with a information provided him by a hand surgeon (or surgeons) help focus Ronnie’s design.

Yes Mr. Bradshaw that would be interesting. When looking at page 10 of this thread, there are drawings with the angles and dimensions. I found that to open up the can “o” worms and that really got me thinking.
So hopefully if we are armed with information such as barrel length, cartridge pressure, grip angles, and a shooters hand size and shape, this may go along way toward design for recoil control. I anxiously wait for this to unfold!
