Some things that you may find helpful. Even if you have to talk to yourself while you are shooting, DO NOT let yourself jerk the trigger. Just keep telling yourself to be smooth and steady straight to the rear. Keep a firm grip on the pistol and your hands will not take much recoil as you are making the gun move your whole arm--not hitting you in the hand. If you have to wear some type of padded glove due to recoil, you are likely not holding the pistol firmly enough. Put something padded under your shooting side elbow when shooting off the bench as the recoil will cause it to smack the bench top and eventually that will effect your concentration. If you are correctly focused on the front sight (or optic aiming point), your eye should follow it through the recoil cycle as opposed to finding yourself looking at the target after the revolver fires. I learned more about precision shooting and follow though from silhouette, air, and free pistol shooting than from anything else and if you have even a hobby level air gun, it is worth the time to train with it. Good luck to you.
