Well maybe one more tip. Do not brace a 629 against your leg from a prone position. That cylinder gap will slice your new bluejeans and leg like a scalpel on firing. whistle


Yup,

If you take a look at the pics RJM posted, you can see the blackened knee area of my blue jeans, from shooting in the braced position, with the revolver between the knees.


If you look at pictures of IHMSA revolver competitors, almost all of them use(d) a leather or leather/kevlar blast shield to preserve their pants and protect their legs. I made one out of five layers of leather glued and riveted together and I can shoot a 40 round match with no pain at all.
