    Thinking about getting another SA Revolver and was wondering about the Bisley grip angle. Is there positive/negative advantages to the angle? Points better/worse? Or is it just a matter of preference? Actually never held one in my hand. Just going to be another range toy.

    I dont care for the Bisley grip at all. But then I like the Dragoon frame of the Ruger SBH. I get down lower on it....which keeps the gun from sliding. Get full recoil that way. But with maxd 240s you can hold right and thumb left for a few shots.

    Even on a Single Six....prefer "regular" frame.

    Got a bud that likes Bisley.

    For me they dont feel right. Or look right. Guess to some folks hands and eyes theyre fine

    The Bisley doesn't roll in your hand and for me it works better than the first generation Colt's grip, unless it's been fitted with oversize grips. With a standard grip I have to keep my thumb further out and exert pressure there or my grouping will drift to the left.

    Was wondering about the rollback in your hand. Think I'll just stick with what I know. Wasn't particularly fond of the look but was wondering if I was missing something.
