In trying to improve my accuracy with my Redhawk I am using a monpod with a "V" type rest to steady my aim. I rest my hand, not the pistol, in the rest.
My best friend says he rests the barrel lug just in front of the cylinder in the "V" rest.
I always heard that you should not allow a barrel to touch the rest or sand bag. However, that was probably meant for rifle barrels that are long and vibrate and oscillate. I doubt a short stiff Redhawk barrel does any oscillating, (jumping yes of course.)
I did a little dry firing using the barrel resting in the "V" of the monpod and it seems very secure and natural.
Do you think the revolver will shoot differently rested on the barrel vs my hand resting on the "V"? Of course I will go try it for myself, but interested in opinions and even more............... "experiences".
