How NOT To Shoot a Revolver

Chapter 2: • How Not To Shoot a Rev...
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’ve experienced this more than once. This is a good short, to the point explanation and video of a very important safety point concerning the use of a revolver.

If you re-watch this, it kinda looks like the bullet is hitting the paper causing it to go kabloomy. Idk tho, might be wrong.

[@louisryan5815]

@@SamD.Coffey if it was simply going through the front, all it would have probably done is left a bullet hole in the paper. Most of the damage done to the paper is almost certainly gas releasing, though you have a point that some of it may have been gas releasing from the end of the barrel.

[@jackwatkins7382]

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!

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.

Its not a reason not to buy a .38. You almost have to intentionally do it to place your hand there.Its a very unnatural hand position..people have been using revolvers for years and you dont hear about man fingers blown off from cylinder leak do you? Just dont cover the cylinder with your hand and youll be fine.

[@rickyray2794]

Colton Moore How is any caliber a worthless caliber? If its for self defense you just want something that is going to shoot a piece of metal (or whatever they are made of) into an attacker, at any caliber its going to stop somebody.

The fact that you could shoot the paper targets without even pointing in its direction shows how skilled a gunner you are.

[@kpkndusa]

The muzzle blast did a great job too. I think using a longer barreled revolver so the paper is not in the blast area would have given a better idea.

[@janswanson1123]

Thanks for the tip, I just ordered my first revolver and I had no idea there was that much side blast. 👍

[@B-and-O-Operator-Fairmont]

Truthfully, that's probably about the only way I could ever hit a target with a .44 magnum.

[@mr.hanger]

Good stuff, I know your frustration!

Same. My Uncle taught me, if necessary, shoot to kill. RIP Uncle Benny

[@myyoutubechannel7912]

Magnum? halo music intensifies

[@BigDaddySwingingMeat]

That's why the 357 magnum exists. Far more manageable and less likely to overpenetrate.

[@angelanothanks6]

With practice you could probably do it. I'm a woman and I am comfortable with 44 mags(not short light ones). I'll admit that I won't shoot one for hours at a time as I do with 22LR or 38 special. When alone in bear and mountain lion country I am happy to have a 44 mag with me.

My Granduncle made that mistake once, he was shooting his revolver and he just let his hand slip a little too far forward when bringing his left hand up to the gun. The thing blew a gash through the side of his thumb and my dad had to drive him 60 miles hollering, cursing, and bleeding to the nearest hospital so they could sew the damn thing back together.

I'm not what I'd call knowledgeable on firearms other than having hunted moose and caribou with a bolt-action 30-06 or an 8mm Lebel around Lake Susitna, Alaska many decades ago. 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! Thank you, Sir! Oh, and to the guy who said, "I doubt ur 75 and on KZbin," I also am 75 and here I am, and I'm even able and willing to spell words out even at the grueling effort of making a few extra keystrokes , , ,

[@nathand6467]

I think most of the damage was actually caused by the muzzle, I think he should have done a demonstration with the paper behind the muzzle. Also funny how the algorithme is suggesting this now, to all of us.

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!

Wise advice. My Dad was a Police Detective in the Philippines from 1960-1973. I have seen him shoot his revolvers in the dark; flames come out of three locations: the muzzle end, the cylinder/forcing cone gap and between the rear of the cylinder and the breechface. Imagine the flamecutting of the underside of the top strap just above the forcing cone but on your fingers; that's how hot and forceful the powder flashes are.
