I have a Ruger SP101 and I can tell you that when I first got it, I had a hard time hitting the side of a barn with it! Talk about buyer’s remorse. I was used to shooting semis and using the ball on the tip of my trigger finger. My Ruger will just not allow that finger placement with me behind it! I have to use the crease on my first knuckle. It may be that revolvers have a different distance to their trigger – I don’t know. I do know it took a lot of dry firing to get the “feel” of that little wheal gun to shoot for me. Now that I do … does it ever.
At first I thought I might have been flinching too, but I did what BikerRN said and held it tighter than the first penny I ever made grunting all the way … I knew then, recoil wasn’t the issue lol!
Good luck!!
