Before I continue the thread, I have a special shout out to RealGun for recommending CME holsters.
I have bought one of my grail guns , just like the title suggests its the lipseys special edition bisley in .44 magnum with the 3.75 inch barrel.Now I am no John Taffin but Ill do my best to relay my experience.
First the gun is not all that light , weighing about 44 oz ( my regular sbh is at 46 oz) But with the catamount holster I received from cme holsters it now has become my edc replacing the sp-101. It rides nice either iwb or between belt and pant. The gun is very solid with a tight cylinder gap. It just reeks of elegance, something like a wild mustang running free. I took this beauty shooting at a indoor range, you could adjust the distance electronically so I cant for sure tell you the distance of each shot ( I was having too much fun changing between 15-50 ft)
Ammo shot was a combination of my own reloads( 240 gr xtp @ 850 fps), factory remington 180 gr jsp (these are thumpers!!!) , winchester 240 gr jsp (more of a push but not bad at all) , hornady .44 specials 180 gr xtps, and the just two rounds of winchester black talons from my daddy's old box.
The bisley grip makes an incredible difference to me, my normal sbh sports the dragoon style trigger guard and 7.5 inch barrel , and those remingtons would hurt me after about 50 rounds. With the different grip style I shot over 150 rounds of the remington!!! Though the recoil was mild those loads left fireballs that people the next stalls over would stop shooting and look to see what the "crazy" guy was shooting!
I know my pics are terrible, but Its what I got.
