Imagine that!But you can bet it weren't the first and it won't be the last.But I was wrong on my opinion of the bisley grip frame.Here's how all this came about.In May last year I attended a JL seminar and shot his big guns as well as hitmans with the only problem being the trigger getting my finger.I came home and went to work on my grips hoping to make them as comfortable as theirs was to shoot.I didn't succeed and got more problems,besides my trigger finger getting bit,my knuckle and palm of my hand was recieving abuse.What went wrong?I asked myself this alot but continued to shoot thinking it was me,more abuse.I shot some of JLs guns again in October,just the trigger finger issue,no knuckle or palm problems.I came home looked over my bisley and continued to shoot with the abuse.My newly acquired colt didn't hurt me,so it must be the bisley,but why did so many like it?I convinced myself it was the frame and converted my rugers to blackhawk or hunter gripframes.Well I happened upon a post on another site about grips and proper fitting,and pictures of where alot of people seem to need work done on grips to get a better feel.I had done it way wrong.So I went and picked up a set of polymer grips and shaped them correctly and it made a world of difference,I also left the blackhawk trigger and hammer together and the results are drastically different,no trigger pinch,no knuckle busting and no palm slap(best way to describe it).The bisley is comfortable and again a pleasure to shoot.
I tell you this and share picture of my reworked 45colt that is loads of fun.Front sight has been reshaped and thinned(thanks sixshot for the advice),cylinder work by Rod,rear sight opened,trigger job,ss pins,grips ivory polymer and reshaped correctly,all done by myself.
