Because efficient revolver shooting pretty much requires that the trigger return start immediately after the round is discharged, it’s not inconceivable that the bullet might still be in the bore as the trigger finger reverses direction. If the muzzle is disturbed at this point the round will not be as precisely placed as the shooter may have intended.

For this reason I recommend practicing the stroke, focusing on trigger return, until the muzzle alignment (as shown by the sights) does not vary during any phase of the stroke. In days past it was a common technique to balance a coin on the front sight and practice until the coin did not move regardless of which direction the trigger was going, which serves to illustrate both what’s required and that it’s possible to achieve.

(I’m told by a knowledgeable source that this concept of the trigger stroke was called “rowing the boat” by instructors at the FBI Academy back in the 1960s. Since I wasn’t there I can’t vouch for the claim, but I think it the mental image is certainly valid.)
