You can create dummies for the hands and cup, too. With a little creativity and lots of dummies, you can limit your keyframing requirements. It is not possible, as far as I know, to animate hierarchies, like linked in frames 1-20, unlinked frames 21-60. But I would use seperate animations and cut them together, you know, like in movies. Computer people never seem to think in terms of edits. You could create an animation with the gun in one hand, linked and all, then a cutaway animation, like the revolver being passed to the other hand, then cut to the gun being weilded in the other hand.
