There was a thread with this same title before, but that person had a different issue.
I've got a 686-6 with a 4" barrel, running .357 loads (American Eagle 158 gr, 1240 fps). It's spirited but not bad. Each time I fire, the upper near corner of the stock wooden grips digs into the web of my strong hand. After a few rounds, my hands feel fine but I'm bleeding from the web of my thumb.
I fire with thumbs locked down and a very high grip. I love the look of the wood grips, but might have to pull 'em off and go to rubber.
Is this a common problem with a known solution? I've had a couple more experienced revolver shooters look and they feel my grip's ok.
