Looks good.

I suspect the only way you are going to get the revolver to print lower is to install a very tall front sight.

I hope you are shooting BP in a BP era pistol.

If you look at the load path in the top strap of a top break revolver, the typical structural elements keeping the strap on are the strap pins. Or the side of the strap. Top breaks are extremely weak actions.
