Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a thumb-over-thumb grip dangerous on a revolver?

This grip is dangerous because it places your thumb directly in line with the cylinder gap. During firing, high-speed, hot gases escape this gap, which can cause severe burns or even remove flesh from your thumb.

What happens when a revolver is fired with an improper grip?

When fired with an improper grip, like thumb-over-thumb, hot gases forcefully vent from the cylinder gap. This escaping gas can cause significant injury to the shooter's hand, particularly the thumb.

How can I safely grip a revolver?

You must avoid the thumb-over-thumb grip. Instead, ensure your shooting hand's thumb is either held high and away from the cylinder gap or rests firmly on the frame, never obstructing the gap.

What is the cylinder gap on a revolver?

The cylinder gap is the small space between the revolver's cylinder and the frame. It's necessary for the cylinder to rotate freely, but it's also the exit point for high-pressure gases upon firing.
