works well with the DW because of the positioning of the release catch in front of the cylinder.

The DW has a catch in front of the cylinder on the left side of the action. It is pushed vertically down to disengage.
What you do is transfer the left (weak) hand to grasp the frame from below as you raise the pistol upwards. The left thumb just naturally falls onto the top of the catch & as you push down you "pop" the still locked cylinder (DWs also have a dual locking system, the catch at the front of the cylinder & a spring-loaded ball detent at the rear) to the right with the fingers of the left hand. This places the left thumb directly over the ejector rod with almost no movment.
You can see the catch (the square thing) in front of the cylinder in this pic.
