Its easier to "feel" the difference than to describe, but I will try. The Bisley is longer, and makes the gun feel a little more top heavy than the #5. It points downward at a sharper angle I think.

For me, the Bisley can handle the heavy recoiling guns better than the #5. The #5 is quite comfortable for my heavy 44 specials, a 260 gr. bullet at 1200 fps. For quick point shooting, the #5 works better in my opinion, probably due to the hand being more in line with the axis of the gun.

Not sure that helped. C'mon over and try them both sometime.

That is a tough question. The 9mm Luger has the best grip angle for pointability.
Everyone has different hand sizes and wrist strengths. There is no one grip that fits everyone.
Even if you find a grip that feels good, you can have problems maintaining even pressure and can scatter shots or groups.
It is just not only feel but does the grip allow you to shoot great or does it make shots go all over the place?
If you take a super accurate revolver and change grips to everything you can, you will see changes in accuracy, POI and recoil feel all across the board.

Yes 430man, and finally the pistol makers are getting the point and more are making guns with interchangeable inserts.
When doing slow delibrate shooting some things can be compensated for but rapid draw and fire will show the differences better.
