No that I'm aware of, but Dustin Linebaugh makes a fine pair of grips to fit Bisleys. I have a pair on my .500 and do not suffer the Bisley knuckle.

I'll second that as I have shot hitmans bisley and others stocked by Dustin with no knuckle issues.

I'm surprised at that. I've only shot heavies in mine but never felt any knuckle bashing. What caliber are you using?

I'm with Bingo...even before I put a break on my 475L w/Bisley grip, I shot several hundred rounds thru it with no knuckle bashing.

It could be your grip style....just a thought.

It sounds like a grip issue, not the gun's but your's. I have many Bisleys, and run them hot, and have never had a problem with knuckle. Try moving your hand down the grip a little.

My bisley is a .45 colt. I hold a high grip and my knuckle touches the trigger guard .The only way to get away from it is to hold lower on the grip and i dont like to do that.I have a blackhawk with custom grips that has a filler behind the guard,also in .45 colt that dosent hurt me.I know the filler lowers my grip on the gun, but you have grip filling your hand.
When I lay the two guns together the grips are almost identical in shape ,except for the filler behind the guard.so I have been shooting the bisley grip shape for 30 years or so on the blackhawk. May be that pachmayr will eventualy produce a grip for it, hope so! thanks guys

June, Herrett makes one that does just that called the Single Action Trooper. No longer listed but they told me they'll still make it. It works well on Blackhawks/SBH's. I don't know if it's ever been done on a Bisley. The gent at Klamath River Wood Works responded to me in an e-mail & says he'll make just about anything. Pictures are pretty but I've never had his work.

I have tried to contact Hogue grips 2 times but so far have not had a return call . I left a message On wood shop foremans machine with number and what i wanted done both times.Secretary very helpful,shop foreman not so much so.Iknow he is a busy man but ? So I get out my wood and start my own version of what I want.The grips have a filler behind the trigger guard which solved the problem of the bashed knuckle very well.I know I am not the only one that has this problem.So if anyone else suffers bisley or blackhawk knuckle, it can be fixed.Blackhawk grips are available from hogue or pacamayr ,but bisley grips you have to make yourself.
