I'd argue that if he cut off Frodo's hand, he would be then the possessor of the Ring. He has taken it by force. In all other instances where Gandalf handles the Ring, it is given to him. Possession remains with the giver. I don't think possession is a simple matter of just touching it.

Like I said, maybe hair splitting.
