any revolver guys have a fix or remedy for this?

[The Anchor]

so was sighting in my Dan Wesson supermag, over a leather rest, and the blast past the forcing cone, is cutting into the leather bag. i only shot 25 rounds, or so, and it didn't cut through (yet), but want to cover the leather with something to stop it. what does the NES braintrust have to say? cheaper the better! thanks

put your tinfoil hat over it.

I could be wrong but I believe the proper way to rest a revolver is resting your wrists on the bag, not the gun.
That being said just cut a piece of leather (old coat or shoe) and lay it across your bag.

Whatever you do, just don't wrap your hand around the cylinder. Jack.

Years ago when IHMSA was the rage we would shoot Creedmore style with leather wrapped around our thighs. When men were men.

An old pair of jeans folded up would work for a while, or a piece of plywood maybe.

This.

OP rest your hands on the bag not the gun

Pick up an old weight lifting kidney belt. I use them as strops (cut down) and as thick leather buffers for anything else. If you use them as a strop, make sure the salt is purged from the belt.

You could try a carbonized welding blanket for $15 on Amazon. Withstands 1,800 degrees.

Yup, hands go on the bag. The blast from the cylinder gap is a feature, not a bug, of the revolver design unless you get an antique MAS.

I have a shooting ballcap that I bring with me (one of those freebies you get when you buy something) and place it on the rest. It looks like I put out a few fires with it...

Years ago I could find 10x10" sheets of this stuff for protecting tight areas from torch and welding.
Seems all I could find where gloves

cut it to fit and glue it on with fabric glue.

Wrap the forcing-cone/cylinder gap area with a slice of raw bacon and WIN!

I'm assuming that the barrel has been tightened to the proper cylinder gap? Maybe a little more?

what supermag? .357? it was known to flame cut the top strap of revolvers so sit back and enjoy the show.

There is no solution other than to hand your Dan Wessons over to me.

Buy a Glock!

i rest the frame on the bag, just in front of the finger guard, seems to work really well.

they did that when guys were trying to push past 2k fps, and the Ruger was recalled because of it. mine shows no significant sign of flame cutting. thanks for all the ideas, and random thoughts.

i am going to order the welding blanket from amazon

When I sight in a revolver, I use one of these.

They are lightweight and cheap (though not as cheap as a welding blanket). It's not as stable as a bag, but I don't think with my eyes more stability would be any great help.

Ok Ted Cruz.:emoji_flag_us:
Now all I’m thinking about was him cooking bacon with an AR and tin foil. That is singularly one of the most bubba things a politician could do.

They say Jerry Garcia lost a finger shooting a Supermag...
