Just curious … what’s the attraction of the jeweled hammers and triggers on FA revolvers? Personally, I am not a fan of the look on an otherwise elegantly simple revolver. What am I missing?

You're not missing anything really. It's more of a personal taste sort of thing. I used to love jeweling/engine turning but outgrew it over the years. I suppose an argument can be made that it helps hold oil kinda like jewling a bolt action rifle bolt.

Oh how I dislike them.
I also cast a dubious eye toward the claim that it helps hold oil, which is a feature I don’t really want/need on my hammers anyway.

Sorry, I just can't take it. It's so sad to see jeweling on an otherwise nice revolver.
To each their own. But....

Tastes are a highly subjective matter...If we all liked the same thing, life would be incredibly boring. Speaking for myself, jeweling has no place anywhere on a revolver, single or double action PERIOD

Doesn't hurt anything. If I find a gun that I like and has jeweling, so be it. I don't understand the hate. I dislike poorly fitting grips and badly done Bisley conversions and electro-engraving much more than jeweling.

I have both and like both. It's personal preference. The way some of you feel about jeweling is the way I feel about porting on handguns. Porting 100% ruins it for me.
But as has been said already, to each their own.

Agreed on the porting. I WILL NOT own a ported gun. Not a fan of jeweling either but don’t dislike it as much as porting.

I felt that way about porting but bought an awesome FA from a friend for a great price, and since I ALWAYS wear plugs or headsets when hunting. I learned my lessons years ago as a weapons instructor for the govt. It really didn’ t matter, ported or unported I’m wearing ear protection. I have two hunting rifles with brakes on them, I wear ear protection, I have numerous competition rifles with brakes on them, I wear ear protection.
Jeweled hammers,......not so much!!! Even ear protection does nothing for that.

I have seen a number of revolvers that i think of buying until i see the Bisley Grip.
It sure does not belong on a Ruger. Too each his own.
