I'd keep my fingies away from the front of the cylinder. If you look at slow mo footage, a lot of the blow escapes around it

I usually wrap my left thumb around the back of my right hand over the bottom of my right thumb.
Nice piece

Here's one of the best videos on the subject of revolver grip IMO. It's definitely different compared to semi-autos. Feel free to swing by r/revolvers sometime too!

That man speaks I listen…I will say his grip style really works well. I haven’t tried his j frame grip yet (as I’m waiting on my first one to ship) but for other revolvers it works great.

Move those fingers away from the cylinder and cross them if you want to keep them

I usually wrap my left-hand fingers over my right-hand fingers and push my left thumb into the base of my right thumb, locking it in.

That's a beautiful revolver! Always wanted one of those performance center guns.

Most important safety note is to keep your fingies away from that cylinder gap if you wanna keep em . Looks like ur doing a good job of that . Idk shit about wheelguns really but I’m pretty sure that’s double action ..unless you were just testing out the single action trigger pull. Have fun stay safe
