I understand the Ruger interpretation of the Bisley grip helps with heavy recoiling calibers. Is there a benefit with lighter recoiling calibers, say .357 and smaller? Have a "matched pair" Bisleys 45 and single six 22, original intent was to have the same grip to practice with. I prefer it for slow intentional targets. The original Colt Bisley was designed for slow one handed target shooting. Have seen some quick with a Bisley, but I'm faster with a standard or birdshead grip. I have wide hands but short fingers, have converted just about everything to a Bisley or Super Blackhawk. As far as the broomstick feel, custom grips are a must, I prefer flush to the frame and maybe a round butt. The round butt also makes the standard grip much more comfortable for me.

Please give Ronnie's "Potato Judge" a look. Absolutely what it is... a round butted Bisley grip. I have not fired my fluted cylinder custom 44 Magnum Super yet, but I expect good things. Even cocking and dry firing one handed, sights finally never move for me improving my follow through. Ronnie left the panels a little "fat bottomed" for my hands and if you spend more than 5 minutes on the phone talking about grips with him he will have you figured out. He just "knows" because he is a shooter himself and that is what makes all the difference. And he may be a bit of a "recoil junkie" so he knows all ends of the spectrum. Some of the best money I have spent.

I understand the Ruger interpretation of the Bisley grip helps with heavy recoiling calibers. Is there a benefit with lighter recoiling calibers, say .357 and smaller? It's fit. The grip frame was great for shooting in target positions The Bisley is named after the shooting range where the Brits held matches since 1890 It was a target version of the Single Action Army, from the turn of the 19th/20th century

Really enjoy my distributor exclusive 6.5" S/S Bisley Single-Six! Not to mention some incredible Chigs grips that dramatically change the grip shape on this gun vs factory thin panels. A solid grips is going to help you whether you are shooting a rimfire or a cannon. The Williams fiber optic sights also help with the sight picture.
