I don't know about the current ones, I just remember when the Bisley first came out, the grips felt the same to me as the SAA. Maybe Ruger has made them a little larger over the years. Who knows. I liked the way the revolver rotated up in my hand, making it a lot easier to thumb the hammer back. I didn't have to shuffle my grip like on some other revolvers.
