I have a Ransom Rest, a number of inserts and use it quite often. It ain't cheap but consider it instead of your next handgun purchase if you really want to know what your guns will do. Most shooters don't bother bench testing their handguns anyway and are satisfied making noise at the range so it's moot for them. It saves me a lot of time that would otherwise be lost due to fatigue and/or eye strain. So I can do a lot of testing in a short period of time without my eyes giving me a fit or developing a flinch. Ransom Rest testing provides a much better baseline than possible with other methods.
The common method I use for bench testing is to settle the revolver into leather sandbags at the junction of barrel and frame. Do not let the butt rest or touch anything. Rest your forearms on the edge of the bench or another pair of bags. This is how the pros do it.
