    If you value your skin, be sure to hold a revolver correctly! :-)
    Also, for the person or two who keep trying to repost the same goofy comment, anybody who cannot see that the paper is cut at the cylinder gap, please "rewind" the video and watch a few hundred times. :-) Of course, the muzzle blast has some effect on the paper, too, but the point is that the paper is cut back at the cylinder gap. Where is Homer Simpson when I need him? :-)

    As one who has lined up side by side many times on a range firing revolvers I have felt some of the hot crap and gasses that came out of the shooters revolver to the side of me and so have several others I know.

    I remember my brother-in-law wanted to shoot my Model 29 44 Magnum. I was shooting one handed and was trying to teach him how to. But he couldn't hit the targets so he wanted to shoot two hands. I showed him how to take his right hand to hold the grip and push forward and use his left hand to hold and pull back and he tried it but still what getting on the bullseye. So the next thing I saw him doing was holding the gun with his right hand and take his left hand and wrapping it around the cylinder and I said no no no no! Keep your hand away from the end of the cylinder and so he held his hand back and shot a round or two but he still wasn't on target well needless to say I wasn't watching close enough I mean he was 25 years old, but he eventually wrapped his hand back around the cylinder with his thumb right where the cylinder meets the barrel and when he pulled the trigger he started screaming and crying like a baby. The blast between the cylinder and Barrel split his thumb halfway between the nail and all the way to the end. Needless to say he never shot my 44 magnum again!

I intend to learn EVERYTHING about my gun purchase, inside and out, backwards and front, blindfolded, BEFORE shooting with it. So, with that said, thank you again for this informative video.🤘🏻

    Been there, and done that (45 years ago.). The wounds healed decades ago but the memory still makes me wince. I had been shooting auto-loading pistols exclusively for a couple of years when I decided to bring my Ruger Speed Six .357, which had been my main carry gun, on a camping trip and neglected to alter my grip. After that, I adopted a grip that was suitable for revolvers and auto-loaders. There are certain mistakes that anyone might make once but only a fool would do more than once.

I was aware that revolvers could spit some quantity of stuff sideways, and to keep your body parts out of the way. But now that I've given away my hunting gear to younger folk, and my gun ownership is down to just a little 5-shot .38 Special revolver for personal protection, I very much appreciate this dramatic demonstration!

    I wrapped my finger around a 22 revolver. I was shooting the semi-auto all day, then we loaded my buddies revolver and I wrapped my fingers around and shot. It hurt and I had fragments buried in my fingers. I thought it was just burnt tissue until it didn't go away and I had to take a needle to dig out the shards. Glad it was just a .22, but I Wish I would have watched this first!
