So you agree. Particulate and flame/hot gas does come from the gap.

Probably more than most, but certainly not as much as you. I will defer to your experience.
Now, it's important to note that I never said a revolver can't be shot from retention. I just said there are risks involved. No, I don't think it will catch your clothes on fire. No, I don't think it's something to be terrified of.
But let me ask you this, would you hold your hand next to the front of the cylinder as you fire a revolver?
