Videos tagged with Cylinder Slamming

This video debunks the myth that slamming a revolver cylinder shut is harmless. Instructors explain that this action can bend the yoke assembly, leading to misalignment and timing issues in revolvers, particularly affecting models like Smith & Wesson K-frames and Colts. While some heavily reinforced revolvers like Ruger GP-100s or Redhawks might tolerate it, it's generally advised against to preserve the firearm's timing and function.
