Re: Bisley grip or Std. SA grip ??????

I like the Bisley grip much better than the regular grip frame on my Rugers. I think that the Bisley is more controllable upon recoil and they point easier for me. I also have large hands and I don't get rapped on the nuckles with the Bisley grips. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l147/jengel300/le...
