My First Revolver

Hello everyone, Hope everyone is doing well. I just purchased my first revolver, a Cimarron Frontier (pre-war) 357 Mag by Pietta. It's a 5.5" barrel Single Action Army clone. It's got a good weight to it, and a nice finish. Though I am surprised the handle is so small, I have small hands and it does feel small. I never shot a revolver before and I am taking it to the range tomorrow, does anyone have any tips on the best way to hold the revolver? I also got both 357. mag, and 38 special ammo for it. Thanks in advance for the advice!

For SAA clones try wrapping the 3rd and 4th fingers around the grip and curl the pinky under the bottom. This gives better control and you won't have to re-adjust your hand after every shot. ;)

Yes, I did learn that, because it can throw off the timing. Thanks, I hope I can shoot it well.

It at the very least will singe your finger and could cut it off from gases escaping between cylinder and forcing cone. If you don't believe this , get a sheet of writing paper and hold the paper in a way that makes it lay along the front of the cylinder . Be sure to keep fingers behind the area I told you about . Pull the trigger and you will see what I am talking about. .357 magnum and above can cut fingers , .38 and below will at very least , scorch fingers.

Failing to avoid the cylinder gap can result in damage far worse than a pinched finger.
