Kind of like the required safety training at the shop I worked with last year.

The guys complaining the most about the training were the guys with one eye, 8-1/2 fingers that limped a bit!

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."

Little revolvers or big ones, I know that I do not want my fingers out front to get burned. I am going through a box of kleenax crying just thinking about it.  ;)

No thread drift intended here, but weren't the J-frames, like my 649, really designed to be shot with one hand? When I try to shoot it with two hands it feels somewhat awkward to me, but with one hand it feels very natural. Maybe it's because I shoot more semi autos than anything....

I think all small guns work better with just one hand.  Certainly true for me with my LCP and TCP.   I fired my buddy's alloy revolver and think that was the same.   They all certainly feel better with a one-handed grip.

This subject gets to a minor peeve of mine.
Revolver carbines, like the "Circuit Judge".
It seems down right stupid to design a fire arm that requires you to put one hand in front of the cylinder gap, thereby positioning your arm alongside it.
There was a good reason Colts long guns faded into obscurity.

PS.
Did any one else notice in this months American Rifleman that the "Judge" carbines were advertised under the Rossi name ?
They even used that name in the Blurb "This Judge won't leave you hangin'".
