Common knowledge for revolver shooters - is is flame cutting.
That is why revolver shooters keep their hands away from the cylinder gap when firing the gun.
It is not the responsibility of a gun shop to advise about this situation.
Check the gun's manual and see if there is information there.
This issue has been around as long as revolvers have been around - there is nothing new about this.
Knowledge is power.
This is NOT the way to control a revolver. I wonder how many people by a revolver not knowing anything about this? No gun shop has ever even hinted to my wife or myself of this danger.
Used firearms don't have manuals and who reads the safety section about anything? Many people buying a handgun know nothing about them and may never have even fired a handgun before.
Not to be sexist, but I suspect a far percentage of women who buy a firearm never fired a gun before in their life.

It really isn't that much different than "slide bite" from the wrong grip on a pistol. I mean, hell, if you've never used a kitchen knife before and slice a finger off while chopping up an onion does that mean it's the store's responsibility to teach you basic kitchen safety?
This stuff is pretty much "revolver 101".
Yea, I just checked the instruction manual for one of my Ruger revolvers that I got online, and right there is is!
Oopsie!
I can kind of see how it could happen. Using a pistol grip on a revolver or vice versa is going to be bad on your hands so if someone who has always shot pistols gets a revolver in their hands I can at least understand the mistake. Now, if that same person picked up a S&W 500 for their first ever revolver......
It's the old story, the most dangerous person in the room is the one who already knows everything.

Exactly correct!
I believe that the S&W 340 (very lightweight titanium .357) has a steel insert to protect the titanium frame from flame cutting damage during firing.
Shoot a revolver in low light or look at a still picture during firing will show it.
Age old issue.

It might. I'm pretty sure that there used to be a Russian revolver with a gas seal but it's really not anything I'm particularly familiar with.

Yea my pop's owns one. It is the Mosin Nagant revolver. When you pull the trigger the cylinder is pushed tight up against the barrel as you fire. It is one of the few revolvers that could actually be silenced.
The Russian couple who was selling the gun mentioned this to me. I thought it would be nice to own it but I decided against it.
