Been playing tag with this gun for a month. Finally worked out the deal and picked it up. Fantastic shape 1997 build and looks new. Can't wait to shoot it. Never shot a Bisley, but fits great in my hand.  |

I think you'll really like it. The same gun in 45 Colt is what got me started.

If you are like me and have large hands that Bisley grip is going to fit you like a glove. I wish you well and would appreciate a range report!

Only "Bisley" I own is a BFR. Unless you want to include the Wells biznana and BB5 then I may have a few.
The Ruger Bisley doesn't shoot for me.

Range report. I can't shoot this gun for shit. All over the place, not sure if its my aging eyes or the grip. Think I'm going to put a red dot on it and go from there. EGW mount or wieg-a-tinny micro? What would be best

Lots of factors at play, sights, grips, weight of load and bullet, chamber alignment, throat sizes, bore condition. Could be the new style grip and needing to get use to it. Need input to determine output.

Need input to determine output. I believe its a combination of getting used to it and old eyes. Gonna be a hunting gun anyways, so a red dot will help! Not as good with open sights as I used to be. I have a scoped SBH hunter, that I can shoot real well with! |

Might consider replacing the grip panels with a set from: www.skgrips.com He makes nice Bisley grips. Sometimes the Bisley might take a bit to become acquainted with. Don't throw in the towel yet. |

I have one just like it except the cylinder is fluted. I don’t know how rare that is, but every other Bisley I’ve ever seen has an unfluted cylinder. Mine shoots pretty good, better than me.
