The Bisley was originally designed as a target revolver. It featured a long grip frame for its target grips and a wide target hammer with a low profile.
The revolver made its debut at the 1894 British Commonwealth Championship Match in Bisley, England. More than 40,000 Colt Bisleys were made between 1894 and 1915.
This is the ideal concealable revolver for today’s Western enthusiast. The bird’s head grip design has been incorporated into Uberti’s Cattleman series of 1873 Single Action Army revolvers in both standard and Stallion designs. They are available in various barrel lengths and calibers.
The bird’s head grip was originally designed for Colt Derringers in the 1850s. In 1877, Colt incorporated the distinctive and comfortable grip style into full-frame revolvers called Bird’s Head Colts.
