You are definitely not the only one. And it's not just the big .44's, either. I think the little snubbie .38's and .357's get downright abusive with hot ammo. Then you run into the added problem of being unable to completely express yourself in a social situation. (Or if it does a really good job on your finger, you may be "expressing yourself" even when it's not intended.)
You used to be able to get a spacer thingy (that's a technical term ) for S&W K frames that filled the gap. It made you grip the revolver a bit differently, but it was easy to get used to and much easier on the finger. I don't know if they were ever made in other sizes or for other brands, but they sure did the trick. Nowadays they're a rare gunshow only find, so most of us will have to keep our eyes open for aftermarket grips that fill the space. I have seen some godawful ugly home made attempts to do the same thing, too, so it seems to be still a fairly common issue for those who do a lot of revolver shooting.

It seems to me I remember hearing that there was a company that made grips like that for competitive shooters, but I can't remember any details. Perhaps someone else here has a rememberer they can still gets parts for.

Any chance that "spacer thingy" was a Tyler T Grip? For some reason that name pops to mind - don't know if it works here.

Welcome to the forum Jim.
That name rings a bell. Every so often you see one of them on a revolver at a show, and I'm sure there was mention of them in a "Where can I get...." in American Rifleman several years back.
