Competition with an SAA: The Colt Bisley and Bisley Target
This video delves into the Colt Bisley and Bisley Target revolvers, highlighting their development as specialized versions of the 1873 Single Action Army (SAA) designed for target shooting. The description details the Bisley's redesigned trigger, hammer, and grip frame, which eliminated the SAA's tendency to roll in the hand under recoil, allowing for a more consistent grip essential for accuracy. It also distinguishes the Bisley Target model by its adjustable sights. The video touches upon production numbers, common calibers like .32-20, and barrel lengths favored for competition.
