I have one of the Lipsey's 5.5 inch Bisleys. If limited to one revolver the rest of my life I believe it would be the one I'd chose. I an very fond of all my Bisleys and Powermags but the Bisley 44 Special would be the last to go.

As for loads, I haven't strayed from Keith's three standard 44 Special loads; a 429421 ahead of either 5 grains of Bullseye, 7.5 grain of Unique, or 17.5 grains of 2400. All three shoot nice tight little clusters at 25 yards and even the 2400 load is easy on the wrists while still having enough horsepower to do some good work.

I couldn't think of a more fitting shuck for my Bisley than the Barranti EK#5, correctly handed of course. A nice set of grips and it will be perfect.

Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
