I am thinking about getting another revolver now that I have a job again (only part time but still better than nothing). I am leaning hard toward Ruger and am thinking either an old Security Six, a GP-100, or maybe a Bisley. I had a .45LC blackhawk and found that when I fired the gun it would roll up in the air and beat the snot out of the knuckle on my middle finger with the back of the triggerguard. Consequently, I didn't shoot it much and I sold it not long after I bought it.
I have read that the grip frame of the Bisley sits on such a sharp angle to keep the gun from rolling during recoil. I was wondering if anyone here has one or has shot one much. I am really just looking for a GP woods carry/plinking gun that may be used to knock off a deer once in awhile if I get good enough with it. I know a fair amount about the other two, but not much about the Bisley.
Can you get one in .357? If not I may go with .44 mag and just load it fairly light until I can handle full power rounds, but I might consider another .45LC too.
Any advice, shooting impressions, anything at all would be appreciated.
Thanks.
