Regarding the knuckle-bashing, first, I'm not a fan of the pinky-under-the-grip method. I'm sure it's fine for close range, informal shooting, but it's a bit difficult to effectively control the recoil generated by a .45 caliber 250 gr. bullet. Second, SA revolvers are more effectively controlled, and knuckles not bashed, when the revolver is held such that the barrel is aligned with the forearm. Doing so not only moves the rear of the trigger guard away from the knuckle of the middle finger, but it causes more grip-to-palm contact which aids in controlling the revolver. Try it.
Nope.
Completely happy with the pinky curled under the grip.
Been doing so for about 20 years.
