Here's mine, a Cimarron Uberti 1860 Army SA Colt Richards Transition model, 8" barrel in 45 Colt. FUN to shoot! :D :D :D

Hopefully I can play too :) No SA only, but have "a couple" Dan Wesson's that are both. Actually they all are. I usually shoot SA though !! A pair of 44s ;)

This works with 1 or 2 hand and will stop the roll and improve accuracy . The little finger and thumb will also change your POI .... And this also will make 90% of the fixed sights shoot to the POA .

RR Looks like the old bisley grips; a little longer than the ones they usually put on SAs. I for one always liked the bisley.

DWD I know the one in the top left isn't a model 29, but still I can't look at it and not think, "Did I fire 6, or only 5? To tell you the truth.........." :D

The Army grip fills the hand more than the smaller Navy grip on a Model P 1873 style revolver. Not quite as curved as the Bisley though.

TGR's tip works, I tried it.

I did lock my little finger under the grip as shown, never tried the thumb placement .... if somewhere down the line I guess we all migrate to what we are comfortable with .... in the semi auto area, I like a Luger style grip, don't care for a 1911 style grip .... sort of like Chevy vs Ford .... both will usually get you to the grocery store and back but some folks favor one or the other .... most of the time I cock my Redhawk and fire it single action .... I simply find the Redhawk style grip works better for me
