Like you I like how it is easier to thumb back the hammer on the Bisleys. Especially when shooting one handed. Part of it has to do with the "Bisley" hammer that come with the Bisley models. Also felt recoil feels less with Bisleys IMO.

I guess we were both wrong. GunBlast has a whole article devoted to Ruger SA revolver frames/grips.

Ruger's XR3 grip frame is the same size as the Colt SAA.
