I am relatively now to CCDW, and I inherited a Ruger SP101 2" bbl .357. I also purchased a 1911 4" bbl.
I started carrying the Ruger, but as I got more comfortable, I began carrying the 1911.
As I started enjoying the 1911 at the range, I got into a shooting league and began using the 1911 a lot for practice. I began adopting the thumb forward grip for stability and accuracy.
However, tonight I did a few practice draws with the SP, and found that my instinctive grip would expose myself to the cylinder blast by going thumb forward.
Do any of you mix revolver and semi-auto carry guns and use a thumb forward grip with semis?
If so, how do you avoid this issue?
--- Or, should I trade the revolver for a compact semi?
