    With a traditional release I’m fighting the release in the first phase of rotating the gun to weak hand.

    I ordered one of these. It looks to be a compromise between the Hogue and the stock ones.

    Philosophical question for you, what is your thought of extended cylinder releases on fighting revolvers?

    The extended release makes it faster to reload, but I could see it being a liability if it were accidentally engaged.

    Does anyone make one that’s halfway in between the gamer Hogue and the regular stock one?

    I'm not jetfire, but Dave Parker makes the "halfway" cyl. release:

    You can (a lot of people do) cut down the monster size releases, in width, height or both.

    ETA: Aaaaand now I see you've found that already

    Same here, only I can live happily with even Comp I's.
    I was about to have a old 6 shot 586 changed over to 7, but no.

    This is intriguing and something I might end up throwing on my 627 in 38 Super when it gets here

    An interesting observation and hypothesis that I have had is:

    Moon clips can act like a “sealing plate” so that I can chamfer cylinders more aggressively and not have any loss of function.

    When I chrono tested my 327, I actually had about a 30-45 fps increase in velocity when using moons. The gun actually even sounded different.

    For that reason and for pure speed, I like moons for fighting and gaming revolvers.

    The knuckle relief ones at the bottom might work for you.

    I’ve never seen any of these on guns, will take a picture when mine gets here and installed.

    That's exactly what caught my eye, actually. The way my thumbs stack make the Hogue one a no-go and after I figured that out, I just sort of abandoned the idea without looking for an alternate product

    On @JTMcC recommendation I went looking for Dave Parker and found this ENOS thread with pictures on guns. Lots of good endorsement even from competition shooters. I’m going to put one on my “fighting revolver.”

    Looks like “10mm Dave” is Dave Parker in the thread.

    What ammo are you using for defense in one of these 2.5-3 revolvers?
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    Is that a real question or a snarky question (tone is hard to judge on the Internet).
