Oh.. The Bisley in the Blackhawk or Super Blackhawk isn't for everyone. I have smaller hands and prefer the Bisley.  The short barrel on either balances well.

"Bisley SBH with 4 5/8" barrel in 45 Long Colt".. I don't think is offered anymore.

For all you BlackHawk fans. I am curious about something, I'm sure the answer will be Practice,Practice,Practice...But there is a little voice saying  Single Action for defensive shooting?

in large caliber handguns the general consensus is that there is enough recoil that a double action real isnt much faster


Ya Know with the 310gr-330gr+p loads I was shooting out of my Redhawk I can see that, Man they kicked. My wrist still clicks sometimes. But with the 240gr Silvertips and the like from my 629 Classic I'm not so sure...

S & W 629 Mountain Gun 4"....  Can't go wrong...  But the 329 is so lite and sweet to carry, you almost forget it there and keep checking the holster to make certain you didn't lose it...

I see S&W introduced a 6˝" 329 at SHOT this year. That looks like a pretty sweet ride.
