I've got fairly big hands, but the Pietta '58 does NOT bang my knuckle. I seldom shoot more than 25 g loads tho.

But the Uberti sure does--my middle knucke is right against the trigger guard. I have a sore knuckle after a few cylinders.

It's one of the reasons I shoot the Pietta more than the Uberti. The Navy Arms '58 (still haven't figured out the manufacturer--Euroarms?), also does NOT knock my knuckle, but it has a sliver of wood missing at the rear corner of the grip and that edge digs into my palm.

The 1860 has BIG grips. It has potential to shoot as well as the Rems, but i have to break it in and learn the hand-wavin' dance that shakes the cap frags loose.
