bisley grip

[rocky_taco]

Anyone know if there are any gunsmiths doing custom work to create a bisley grip on a FA?

You might not be aware but FA grip frames are closer to a bisley than a 'standard' grip frame.  If you ever shot a FA you should not have the problems that occur when shooting a Ruger with a standard grip.

I didn’t realize the bisley grip and the FA were so similar.  I’ve read a number of posts of people shooting hot 45 colt loads in a bisley and the FA and complaining that the FA hurt to shoot but the bisley didn’t.  So, I assumed there was some difference in the shape of the grip that caused this.  My mistake.

All personal preference.  I am more recoil tolerant with an FA than a Ruger Bisley.

Yup me too. For me it is extremely difficult to hold onto the Ruger Bisley shooting my 318 grain bullets at 1200 fps or so. But with the FA83 the same bullet pushed to 1550 fps is much easier to shoot.
