I'll put it like this. I got a 4 5/8" Super Blackhawk in 1998. The short barreled guns come with the standard Blackhawk grip frame. With full loads, the recoil was horrendous. At one point I even peeled my thumbnail off with it. I suffered with it for several years before finally deciding to convert it to a Bisley. When I did, I installed the fat Hogue cowboy panels on it. The first time I fired it was a religious experience. The difference in felt recoil was dramatic. It was actually comfortable and enjoyable to shoot. So eventually this:
Went to Clements and became this:
Which eventually went to Huntington and became this:
Because of its multi-stage transformation, I actually have more invested in it than my engraved .500JRH. The Ruger Bisley is just 'that' good. Now 355's at 1350fps are child's play.
