After a day's worth of shooting (say 200 - 250 rounds of a mix of .38's and .357's), my left thumb always ends up black and sooty.
These days I hold it in the proper form - left thumb over right, pointing forward down the length of the cylinder.
Yet its always as if I'm getting blasted by something - I can't figure out how. It seems to become more obvious when I finish the day off with some 158 gr .357's. Each pull of the trigger, I can usually feel a quick sharp hot blast of something hitting the mid-digit knuckle on the thumb.
What gives? How the heck does cylinder gap blast make it all the way back there? As far as I know, the gun's in perfect timing.
