Who gives sh!t? It's not like the topic is tied to some date or something that would make it obsolete in any way.

At least they aren't over in the introduction forum bumping hundreds of threads from months before they even joined themselves.
Okay, a question for you big bore guys.
I've only shot a few .44 mags in my day. What is the preferred grip on a big bore like a .44/.50/.454? The gentleman in the video was using a sort of thumbs forward grip, and it seemed the gun got pulled out of his left hand, and near hit his head. When I use a thumbs forward grip on my autos, most of the gun retention is done with the left (weak) hand, and the right hand concentrates on aiming and trigger control. My left hand is not limp or holding lightly, just not as tight as the left and, and I use a bit of push pull. I'm thinking with the way big bore revolvers are constructed, it might be better to wrap your left thumb behind the frame, under the hammer to keep the gun from getting out of the grip. What say you?
I have my right thumb (I'm right handed) wrapped around the left side of the frame. Then I put my left thumb over my right thumb, as if I'm shooting a 1911. I cock the hammer with my left thumb so I don't disturb the grip with my right hand. I shoot from a sort of modified Weaver stance except when I'm zeroing on the bench.
That was not about handguns at all, I didn't see one damn gun in that whole clip! Liar![Green Hornet said:
