Well..the Blackhawk is lighter and the grip smaller than a SBH and with a .41 Magnum 300 grain LBT or SSK with 19 grains of H110 it runs 1300 fps from a 5" barrel...1400 from a 7.5"....and seems to be just fine...no band-aids needed...

And I really love the way the Bisley grip feels and looks...I've had one .44 and four .41s...and they all went down the road. But all the standard gripped guns are still here.

..you know what they say...ymmv...and ours apparently do....Bob
