BT,DT Fortunately, a finger holds together better than a corndog. Got a good burn though.

I was at the range one day shooting BP and as it happened another guy was also there with a new Colt replica 1861 Army (they cost about 3x or more what the typical Italian ones do). He had a chain fire and blew the ramrod off the gun. So yes, don’t get your finger there.

Ya, did that once with a security-six Ruger. Hot loaded 357 mag. Didn’t hot dog it. But it sure felt like it did. Luck has it, I was right next to an ice cold stream. Soaked my thumb in that for a full recovery. And enough PTSD to never to that again!

I saw the hotdog demonstration when I was a kid. It left a lasting impression on me.

A friend chopped holes in one of my leather sandbags shooting his 629 off the bags wrong.

It was always quite obvious to me that no body parts should be anywhere near the barrel/cylinder gap when pulling the trigger.
