In your opinion and experience, what is the best handling grip of all BP revolvers? How they do compare with other center-fire SA revolvers from Ruger, Colt and Italian clones?
I handled Ruger Old Army (I have it), years back very briefly Remington 1858 (Pietta I think), and also Ruger Bisley and Blackhawk. But never had a chance to handle any (BP and center-fire) Colt or Colt clones, and other SA revolvers.
I have medium size hand, and of all those, and for me Ruger Bisley grip is the best, all 3 fingers are comfortably on it. As for Ruger Old Army and Blackhawk, they feel OK, but pinky finger fits barely. Remington 1858 (if remembered correctly) was also OK. Feels bit different than Ruger-s, but lengths are close.
What intrigued me is that some members here made statements that grips on some BP Colt clones feel better than on Remington 1858.
It would be nice if somebody could post drawing with outlines of grips on BP revolvers, something similar to this drawing https://gunblast.com/images/Hamm_Ruger-SA-GripFrames/Drawings/Frames-ALL.jpg for Ruger SA revolvers.
Thanks
