Way to close to the primers of the other cylinders,, at least for me.. It also show the wasted UN-burnt power in such a short barrel.

I would say that the revolver appears to me to not be timed properly, and is spitting a lot of lead out of the barrel-cylinder gap.
That backblast appears to be bouncing back off of the backplate.
I would not want to shoot that weapon in that condition.
