I have one in 45 Colt w/Bisley grip frame. It is a robust and well made gun. I will say that for me, it is hard to shoot offhand due to the forward weight of the scope. I only had the opportunity to shoot it once so far, to sight in and play a lil bit. W/2x scope I was getting 6 shot 4inch groups at 100 yards, and that was with my first batch of loads made up for it. I'm quite happy with it. That group was off a rest, no doubt for me.
I went from pow to Boom. I love the BOOM!

I have a bisley hunter in 44 thats scary accurate; straight from box... ...my son has claimed it now, so I don't get to use it much.
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

I had one in 41. It shot great, but the scope location I could not get used to.
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

i love my 44 bisley hunter. a superb hunting revolver imo. the forward scope mount does not bother me, but i cut my teeth on a redhawk set up the same way, so i guess i'm used to it.....or i'm strong enough to hold it up?....lol. it is accurate enough for deer....even with factory loads.
Kentucky….no place like home.

or i'm strong enough to hold it up?....lol It wasn't so much the weight, just that I don't much care for magnified pistol scopes at the "normal" location and the longer distance really exagerated it for me. The additional muzzle weight made it easier to hold on target tho.
Rod, too.

I have one in 44mag, with a Burris fastfire iii mounted in the rear dovetail. Its very accurate with factory hornady ammo, and I've been very pleased with the gun altogether. Took my first handgun deer with it last year.

I think I would put a Ultra Dot on it, but that is not going to happen until next year, I"m going to put a 2x Leupold on it for this year, back to the gun shop on Monday, thanks guys.

I have one of the .44 Mag Bisley Hunters. Supremely accurate gun with the right loads. I too didn't like the scope so far out over the barrel so I went with the Weigand mount and an UltraDot Match Dot. The Match dot is lighter than a scope and the weigand mount allows me to get the weight back more over the cylinder. I have a sunshade on both the front and rear of the UltraDot so it looks significantly longer in the photo. Please excuse the crappy cell phone picture...

Not a bad gun at all. I have one and It shoots well. Like others here, the forward weight of the gun, especially once fitted with a scope takes some getting used to. The grip could play a part in that (I have the non-bisley grip). Also, Since purchasing the gun, I have added a Super Redhawk and BFR to the ole' gun cabinet so I kind of left this one behind but haven't made my mind up to sell it yet. Hope this helps.

The obvious benefit is optics for load workup. Take the scope/mount off and it's beautiful and it shoots!

When it comes to that last few minutes of light during prime time, trying to find that black blade in the black notch is a challenge.
