Set the gap to .oo6 or smaller.   Also, you need a shorter screw for the smaller grip--or just put some small washers under the head of the screw.

Looks like Shoot covered it, make sure the gap is set on the is checked all the way around, sometimes these things are not true.  So set to loosest spot!  Let us know how htis works out!broken-computer

Shoot and Dave have you covered with the mechanical part.  I set my gaps tighter, in the .002 to .003 range.  If you go that tight check the gap for the entire cylinder and remember you may have to wipe off the carbon build up from the cylinder face while shooting.  

 

Oh hand position, I was taught to curl the fingers so they can't be harmed by bleed-off from the barrel to cylinder gap.

Yes, something like this. Or a similar hold, that is more comfortable to you.

With an autoloader it is very common to align the forefinger of the weak hand extended along the frame, pointing to the target. With a revolver, this can be a recipe for disaster. I've seen photos of an unintended partial finger amputation accomplished by an S&W .500.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
