Went shooting today with a friend who has a Ruger Flat Top Bisley .44 Special. He had some loads with him taken for that Ross Syfried (sp?) areticle...18 grains of H110 with a 280 hardcast. I fired 12 rounds from the gun and it is just like I remember...most of the impact hits right in the palm of the hand just below the web.
I had the FA 97 .41 Magnum with a 220 grain bullet at 1250... It was far more pleasant to shoot although the recoil seemed about the same.
This is my friends first Bisley and he is now talking retiring it and getting a standard gripped one...it hits him in the same spot and is not near as comfortable to shoot as his heavily loaded Ruger BH 4 5/8" .45 Colt...
