tried a bis but with hot loads it racked my knuckles and tried to hit me in the face as well. the plow handle seems to be way more comfortable sure it moves a lot but it doesn't hurt
With heavy loads I like the Bisleys much better. I really don't like the shorty 4 5/8 blued guns with the alloy frame with heavy loads... that is a finger eating setup for me.
With light loads, I think I do prefer the XR3 grips but they do feal funny after mostly shooting Bisley gripped guns.
Well, I have the bisleys, standard XR3-Red, dragoon, birds heads and hunters. I'm like Flatgate I like the Hunter the best and have been putting them on my stainless ones. My packin one is a stainless Blackhawk 4 5/8's .45 Colt with hunter grip frame.
I have to vote for the Bisley too. I have bigger hands and I think the Bisley gripframe takes the bite out of the hot loads that I shoot. Works for me.
On another note, if you are getting racked on recoil with a Bisley try changing the width of your grips.
