That’s an impressive looking revolver Terry! Congrats!
I currently do not own a SA revolver and aim to remedy that by Christmas time!
I guess it is all personal choice, but the Ruger Bisley in 44 Special feels the best to me. It has the 4 5/8 barrel. The 44 Special is on the smaller frame, and the action just feels more positive. Again my opinion, but it feels more like a SAA in some ways, a bulky SAA.
I have a 7.5 Bisley in 41 Mag, and for me it does not balance in my hand well. I have ammo loaded for that one, and after I burn up those rounds I'll sell it. I did have a 5.5 inch standard BH in 41 Mag, and I liked that one a bunch. At the time I thought the 7.5 would be a trade up, but for me it was a notch down.
As far as numbers go, I like the 4 5/8 barrel, the reduction in weight, and the caliber in the 44 Special. I feel comfortable with 25000 psi loads in the Ruger, so it will drop any whitetail in my woods.
I do feel blessed to own a handful and be able to choose a favorite.
