IMO, Elmer's #5 sorta set up the Ruger Bisley, although a bit different from the #5.

Here is a Bill Grover Longhorn Arms #5, a copy of Elmer's #5.

Then a custom Jim Stroh Ruger Bisley I traded for.

And last, a FA 97 in .357.

One can see the grips compared.

That Jim Stroh's a beauty. Love those stags on it, too.

Yeah, Jim's a master craftsman.

I enjoyed working with him. I did the stags with medallions on that one, as well. Jim had rosewood grips, which are nice, just like stag better.

The line bored SBH with Shilen barrel will out shoot the Bisley, also a .45 Colt. It's been slicked up, but otherwise just a factory gun.

25 yds off a bag with SWC 255's and 4227.

BTW, FA's are reportedly line bored and will shoot with the best custom Rugers.
