I hope that our collectors of vintage guns will extend a warm welcome to this fine COLT BISLEY SAA 32-20 Cal. that was shipped from the factory in 1903. It is in original condition and I can't wait to shoot it.
It was shipped to Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Company Chicago Illinois February 2, 1903. There were 5 guns in that shipment. My Wife Loves It!

Thanks for posting the pictures. Nice revolver and a beautiful holster, but I’m really smitten by “the belle of the ranch”.

Thanks Jeff,
She's carrying a Bisley too. The holster is from e-bay. Can you believe it?

Is there a maker's name on the back of the holster. It sure looks perfect for your great looking Colt.

If I only had enough money to collect something other than SxS shotguns SAA Colts would be it. Great find. I hope your wife "encourages" you to buy more for her.

Hey Bill,
No name on the holster, but they are on e-bay still TonyU Leather Goods. He's has over 1100 items. I also have a COLT SAA that I bought for my wife as an investment that was shipped from the factory in 2007. If anyone (BOD) is looking can I post it along with pictures on this site? I'd love to share it. Brian

What was the reasoning behind the bisley grip style?? Made for a smaller hand??

It may of been made for target shooting? I'm not sure.

Helped to reduce felt recoil and used by a good number of target shooters for that reason.

Named after the Bisley shooting grounds in England - where the British National Rifle Assn was based -
yes- it was designed for target shooting
