| The difference is in the grip. The standard SA grip is more curved back or what they call "plow shaped". The Bisley grip is more straight up and down which is modeled after the 1894 Colt Bisely revolver. It was named after a famous 19th century shooting range in Bisley England where they would hold shooting matches (similar to our Camp Perry matches). The Bisley grip is preferred by target shooters and hunters especially with larger bore revolvers as they are more comfortable to shoot. I have a Bisley Blackhawk in .45 LC and it's a dream to shoot. Check the Ruger website for pics of the Vaquero and Bisley Vaquero.

Welcome from the Central Valley of California.
As was said, the Bisley has a different grip angle that looks odd but feels good and shoots well.
