..but it is totally different in terms of geometry. The grip on the FA is much more like an overgrown Colt. The Ruger Bisley is half way between an original Bisley and an original Colt. For me and most people I have talked to, the FA "rolls" in the hand like a Colt or standard Ruger will. The Bisley comes straight back into the palm of the hand with much less rotation. For me it transmits a lot more shock into the hand than the FA does.



I've had Bisley's in .44 and .41 Magnum. With full loads I would rather shoot a Super Blackhawk....

I could not dissagree with this more. The FA doe not roll in the hand like a Ruger Blackhawk, if it did one would need to remove the hammer from their wrist after each shot. Just shoot some 320 grainers in a 44 Mag RBH at 1300+ FPS to see what I mean



I can't believe that anyone with full power loads and stock grips would prefer a RBH over a Bisley or FA. Shoot some 320 grain cast at 1300+ FPS with the SBH gripe frame and stock grips and the hammer will bury in your wrist every shot. Now that is rolling in the hand a FA of R Bisley will not do that
