Though, the lightest shortest does seem to get carried most often:

Can someone please explain to me how the revolvers in these photos do not shoot incredibly low vs. point of aim?

I believe it has to do with muzzle flip vs barrel time.

I have heard of this theory, but I find it hard to believe there could be any consistency with different charges and different weight of projectiles. The third revolver, the stubby barrel with the boat sail for a front sight and a frame groove for the rear. At 7 yards a chest shot looks like it would actually be a nut shot looking at the geometry.
