    How NOT to shoot a revolver

    This is an educational video from hickock45 on How NOT to shoot a revolver.

    I have not shot a revolver yet im sure not everyone here has experience with revolvers but watching a 4 min vid can go a long way, could help save your hands one day.





    Be safe.

      You must be subscribed as well. I watched this and laughed because not that long ago a guy with a .460sw literally blew the tip of his finger off of the bone at an indoor range near me.

              No arguing about hand/finger placement here. I've seen the photos on line about the 460S&W blowing finger tips off (I own a 460V and love it). Got to love the internet for spreading rumors or truth and everything in between.

              Did you guys notice that the paper was placed several inches past the end of that short barrel? How much shredding was due to cylinder/barrel gap vs muzzle blast? I'll have to try this myself and post.

                I was wondering about that too with the paper. I can imagine the 460 taking off a fingertip. My 460 turns heads from 15 feet away because people can feel the concussion. I watched someone hold a carrot next to the cylinder and it cut it in half.

                    In a thread over on The High Road, a guy took some pretty graphic high-speed photos of a revolver being fired... yeah, putting any part of your body in-line with the forward end of the chamber is a really bad idea...

                        he should hold the paper behind end of barrel as far as

                        possible.

                        For all I know, all that was caused by muzzle blast and how it will also pull air forward.

                        He should use a 10.5 Ruger Blackhawk and have the front of paper only an inch forward of the forcing cone.

                        Just saying.

                            Geez, one shot at night with that thing and the shooter will be blinded, with his intended victim still running around in the house...

                              They Also did this on mythbusters they made a hand out of a chicken and used the bones and I think they used a 500 s&w and that thing was toast
                              it takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile but only three for proper trigger squeeze
