Problem with Big Hands

[stuckon308]

I'm late getting into the antique game. But I want one and have the problem of most antiques having small grips. I haven't held a lot, but of the ones I have, my pinky doesn't fit, and my ring finger is lucky to get a good grip. I know I've held WWII Era Webleys years ago but are the MKI's, II's, and III's similarly sized?

Does anyone have the same issue and found a suitable large grip gun that is comfortable to shoot? Bonus points if the firearm is in a larger "common" antique caliber.

Research "Bisley grips" OP. You're not the only one that has problems, even contemporary shooters recognized a problem with the grips.

Single action Colts (.45 Colt) had plow handles which made sense in theory, but practically...they suck. Birds head grips, may make tucking the piece away easier...but they suck. In my opinion, most if not all revolver handles suck until Smith and Wesson re-thought the design, and even they, initially had problems but they quickly sorted it out.

A Bisley grip will allow a full hand on the gun even if you have very large hands, there's plenty of real estate there.
