Sixgun Nut
Why the hell would I say that to mean "most" of ALL shooters??? Obviously most of all shooters in the US have probably never fired a single action revolver of any kind. This should be painfully obvious to all present.
"Most" shooters, who shoot big bore revolvers and have tried the available options, prefer the Bisley for handling heavy recoil. Clearly, obviously, there are exceptions. Some prefer the Super Blackhawk grip, some prefer the FA.
I'll save you the trouble but anyone can contact any of the major gunsmiths I mentioned to confirm this, the VAST majority of big bore five-shot conversions are done on the Bisley platform. Why? Because it is the most comfortable for the majority of shooters. Not Redhawks, not Super Redhawks, not Super Blackhawks, not Blackhawks. Bisleys. Anyone is free to contact any of the men I mentioned if they do not believe me.
Which is to say, this is my perception based on 25yrs of big bore revolver passion and interest. The accumulation of hundreds of books and articles. The association with hundreds of fellow big bore enthusiasts. The communication with several gunsmiths and the commission of four custom Ruger revolvers. Countless thousands of rounds handloaded and sent downrange through a plethora of sixguns of all makes, models and chamberings. I could count the number of custom DA's in .475 or .500 chamberings I've seen on both hands with change left. While those built on the Bisley number in the hundreds. I posted a link to a 13pg thread that went unnoticed.
If anyone disagrees or knows better, I humbly invite them to prove me wrong. I'm ALWAYS willing to learn something new.
