Paging through the latest issue of Guns & Ammo I saw a review of the Taurus Judge. The article's author had his non-dominate hand providing support under the gun.
This differs from the typical grip I see where one hand is gripping the gun and the other is wrapped around the dominant hand, up as high as could be limited only by hitting up against the trigger guard.
I'm assuming anybody who writes from Guns & Ammo knows very well how to properly hold a gun and I assume they would have not published the pic if it showed an improper grip.
My question: is there a right way to hold a revolver? A better way & worse way? Or is it just a matter of personal preference to put your other hand under or around depending on which feels better and works better for you?
I know there are clearly wrong ways to grip a revolver, like any that expose you to gasses blasting out of the cylinder gap. "Mythbusters" after testing with chicken bone & meat to simulate human fingers determined it plausible that a .500 Mag could blow off your finger as submitted by some viewer (though they thought the pic sent to them of a severed thumb was too graphic to actually show on air).
