This video explains cylinder end shake in revolvers, differentiating it from side-to-side cylinder play. Cylinder end shake is the forward and backward movement of the cylinder, which can lead to power loss and damage to the forcing cone and other firearm components. Minor end shake can often be fixed using readily available shim kits, a process detailed in the guide.
