As stated before, when really striving for accuracy and consistency (such as in the long range game) the grip is everything. This also has direct application to making sure you do not whack your knuckles. Doing everything exactly the same way every single time is critical. One of the primary ways I do this is to place the gun into my hand with my non dominant hand as shown, obviously taking care not to flag myself.
This lets me make sure the bore is lined up with the bones of my arm, and gives me a very consistent grip.

This is the gun I am using, and the grips fit my and the grips fit me well when using heavier loads :

Redhawk with standard grip panels:
You will note how when a person does this they can consistently grip a gun fairly high up which aids in recoil management and DA shooting. Though the grips are quite different, as well as the frames, the position/manner in which I grip them is not.
If you get used to doing this, you can pick up most any revolver and shoot it fairly well. I am not a great shot by any means, especially as my eyes have changed with age. However utilizing these techniques has allowed me to be able to pick up most revolvers and be fairly consistent performance wise, and more specifically at longer ranges.
Wonder who made it.

The crane on the Redhawk looks well-fitted.
