I was on an airplane within the last couple weeks and recall reading a thread where the topic included using laser dry fire training aides, but then the conversation took a left turn when someone mentioned it's not possible in a snubby revolver, since you'd have to buy 5 or 6 (or more) laserlyte cartridges at $80-100 each, and the muzzle inserting models are typically too long for a snubby revolver...
I didn't have time before I lost service to reply on my phone, but I was reminded by the thread today as I was practicing with my GP100 in my basement office. Now that I go looking for it, I can't find the thread where the question was raised, but maybe the OP will see this and find hope.
Most people would never think of it, but in almost any revolver, it's actually quite easy to remove the hand. I use ONE laser cartridge in the cylinder, remove the hand, and block the cylinder with a small wooden shim to keep it from rolling free when the bolt drops (piece of a door frame shim). On Taurus & S&W pattern revolvers, remove the side plate and lift the hand off of the trigger. On Rugers, remove the grips, punch out the trigger guard, and pull the hand from the trigger. Either way, done in 10min or less, all only with the same tear down a guy should be able to do during normal service turn overs, and completely reversible.
