Revolver Warning Pet Peeve

[jnevis]

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.

Actually it's just the "modern" version that people shoot that way.  IIRC an episode of Cowboys, or maybe Wild West Tech, disussed that very carbine and said that everyone held it with the off hand in a similar position as a regular revolver to avoid exactly what we're discussing.

I noticed the same thing Tom about the Rossi. Was thinking to myself that Taurus has a lawsuit on their hands.

I thought Taurus owned Rossi, it might be the other way around.
