Max, it feels good and seems to hold better but from Creedmore with one hand the trigger guard still bites my knuckle. I have a large knuckle from shooting archery all my life and it gets in the way a little. I like red dot sights for hunting and tried to fit my Bushnell between the rings. Doesn't fit so I will have to buy a Millet when I get some money. I have a 2-1/2 to 7X Burris, but it is huge and overhangs the muzzle. I wanted to use it to test accuracy, but don't want to blast the front of the scope. Guess I will have to use open sights for a while. With my old eyes they are hard to see. I see three front sights and have to pick the center one. One inch at 50 yds is amazing considering what I see for sights.

I got my Bisley hunter this morning and after checking the bore and putting some STP on the ratchet and pin, we went down and shot it open sights. I had some 240 XTP silhouette loads. At 50 yds it was high (the sight was way up) I moved it into the bullseye after some fiddling. I don't know how much the clicks move the impact on the 7-1/2" bbl. My last three were centered and in 1", shooting Creedmore. I then shot at the old propane tank offhand at 100 yds and rolled it. I had no trouble hitting the oxygen tank either. It really feels good offhand. I will do the trigger when I have time, it has a little creep but breaks clean.
I cleaned it and didn't find much copper, the bbl is smooth. I figure on shooting all the condom bullets before switching to lead.
I found the grip panels had a gap on the bottom front between the frame and wood. The panels looked a little warped. Some work with a scraper and sandpaper gave me a perfect fit. On inspection I find the loading gate and ejection rod housing fits perfect with no gaps, unlike my old gun. The throats and chambers are tighter, my unsized lead boolits won't push in, but a .430 bullet slides through. There is almost no side play in the cylinder, just a few thousandths wiggle between the lock and frame. There is no endshake. The gap is closer then my old Blackhawk. They did something to improve the sights because the windage adjustment has sharp audible clicks. Fit and finish is very good. The front sight is removable like the Super Redhawk.
I fell in love with it, it is extremely accurate and much improved over my old one. (KS411-10-1/2" bbl) This will be a deerslayer to be sure. Excuse me, I have to go make more noise!

Sounds lke you got a winner, there. Glad it is working so well for you! Are you noticing a difference in shootability with the Bisley configuration? maxman

Sounds like you are plenty deadly for deer at normal woods ranges. I shoot a Bisley in 45Colt, and my dad has the regular Blackhawk in the same caliber (easier to load for!). There is a noticable difference to me in shooting heavy loads. Of course, the Bisley has a non-fluted cylinder, a steel ejector shroud, and a steel grip frame, so there is a bit more weight to it - but I really do like the larger Bisley grip. I have smaller hands and even I could not get enough fingers around the short blackhawk type grip to make it work right. The odd, low hammer configuration took a bit to get used to, but it's ok now. Mine is an all-stainless shooter with a 5.5" bbl, so I'm not going to bother scoping it. I bought it as a heavy backup/hunter for short range work, so a scope wouldn't fit my use. It sure does shoot nicely though, and works real well for what I do. Keep on shootin! maxman
