Want to lose a finger?

I don't know about a warning about the hot dog, but I would certainly be a bit more careful of where you're pointing the muzzle of that 629. At about 0:31 seconds the angle of the muzzle looks like you should be hoping there's nothing within a thousand yards in that direction.

There was a thread a couple of years back with a picture to prove it happened.
A shooter at a club , a women I think , basically severed her thumb from the base of the nail to the tip. Nasty image.....

I did that trick with my Mk 2 Enfield revolver. You only do it once.

Nagant.

I imagine the cylinder gap blast could cut through more than just one hotdog.

It truly is, too bad there are no production 12 gauge revolvers

I've seen pictures of an actual hand - ouch!

I sometimes see someone shooting a revolver with their hand agonizingly close to the gap, and always alert them to it. About half the time it's a welcome warning.

The first picture reminds me of shooting my Uberti 44 Revolving Carbine. Don't hold the gun in front of the cylinder.

I normally don't play grammar police, but what is it these days with "loose" being written when "lose" is the intended word? This error wasn't at all common five years ago, it seems, but it's everywhere today.

"loose" rhymes with "moose"; "lose" rhymes with "snooze." I've even seen this error in newspapers - so much for having an editor.

Ok, minor rant off.

Nice picture, and yes, a good warning to keep those fingers safe.

Loose is a woman that dates you.
Lose is when she decides to leave you for the next guy.
