Sorry to be such a disappointment. I looked into history, and didn’t see this thread brought up. I’ll be sure to check with you next time, before I post.You're the second person lately that started a "This or That" thread without adding a poll! (.45ACP or 10mm being the other thread)
Bisley. For the reason MaxP states.
I believe I seen a picture of the aftermath of that one. I’ve often said, I’d like to shoot a .50 Alaskan once. Probably once would be enough, to get the urge out of my system too!!
My father and I used to do a lot of handloading from the Ruger-Only pages of some reloading pages. While the Bisley has a nice feel against the palm of my hand, I still prefer the way the Plowshare handle allows for the grip frame to roll in my hand with the heavy loads (reducing some of the stress on the wrist).
Sure, rubber grip stocks can also mitigate stress. Different strokes.
No need to put red paint on that front sight, and it tries to "repaint" itself every time you pull the trigger. Ouch!Yeah I put that photo in my first book, Big-Bore Revolvers. I just let my concentration slip for a moment because I became complacent and wham, the front sight tried to knock me out. Here is a still taken from the video showing just how much muzzle flip that revolver produced even with the brake.

That's cookin'!I’m actually at the range right now.
My fastest out of my 500 JRH, with 440 gr. Cast bullets is 1,311.
My 475 Linebaugh is 1,367 with 410 gr. Casts.
Max, do have a bird's head grip on one of your hand cannons?
There should be some side-by-side comparison pics of Bisley, Birdshead, and Plow Style grips in this thread!!!
I am very much a "Bisley" guy. I have shot plenty of "plow handles" but I do not like the way that they tend to squirt down in my grip while I am shooting them. I have tried the pinky under the grip, different holds, all kinds of things, but was never satisfied. The Bisley grip just seems more stable in my hand while shooting it. I think part of it may be that it is much more similar to how a grip on an automatic feels. While square butt K frames are not as bad, they tend to squirt down in my hand when shooting them as well.
