I love Smith and Wesson Revolvers like the 686 and 629. I like to grip my pistols(Like my Glocks) with piggy back high thumbs grip as most professionals teach. My problem is using this grip on my Revolvers. The cylinder release button bangs/cuts the hell out of my right thumb durring recoil. I can't seem to posision my thumb so it will not get cut up under recoil. Here is a picture of how I grip therevolver(my 629 44 mag):

If I cross my thumbs my thumbs it just does not feel right but my right thumb does not get cut up. Several world class instructors advised me to never cross my thumbs. One instructor from Blackwater told me to take a dremel to the cylinder release button and smooth it over. I don't want to do that to my revolvers as some are old and worth a lot. Here is a picture of my crossed thumbs:

So how can I fix this problem?????? Thanks for any input and advice.
