The handles on those western style six-shooters do look a bit funny, because there's no curve to accommodate the web of the thumb. Most modern pistols have a reverse curve or at least a sort of shoulder behind which the web of the thumb sits safely.
compared to a more modern design:
I've often wondered if people ever got injured by the hammer pinching the hand as it moved backwards.
(Disclaimer: I don't like guns - I'm actually quite frightened of them and of what they do to wielders' minds.)
Cool tattoo designs though. I recently saw a doris on Berwick street in a miniskirt, with a fairly realistic AK-47 image in line work on her leg. It looked utterly idiotic, regardless of execution. I think that guns could be a contentious subject matter for tattoos, although the old school execution is definitely better!
