Comparing revolver and semiauto grips is a different can of worms.
The vertical distance from the center bore of a typical Gen 3 semiauto to the center of the pad of the trigger finger is about 1.8 inches (compared to 2.3~2.4 on a K-frame). That helps align the web of the hand (and wrist) with the trigger at the break. There are a lot of good videos about semi-auto grip and recoil control on youtube (Dan Vogel, Masaad Ayoob, etc) They do not transfer completely to a revolver though.
