This video details how to check if a revolver is 'in time' or 'out of time,' a critical aspect of its mechanical function. It explains the roles of the hand and locking bolt in rotating and securing the cylinder. The demonstration covers single-action timing by slowly cocking the hammer and double-action timing by pulling the trigger, highlighting how the cylinder should lock precisely at the moment of firing. A malfunctioning Webley Mark IV is shown to illustrate the safety and accuracy issues caused by poor timing.

Slamming a revolver shut, akin to 'Dirty Harry,' can severely damage the pawl (cylinder stop), leading to critical timing issues and potential catastrophic failure. Proper firearm care ensures the cylinder aligns perfectly with the barrel, maintaining safety and longevity. This video emphasizes treating revolvers with care to prevent mechanical damage.
This video focuses on a crucial aspect of revolver maintenance: timing. It aims to educate viewers on whether their revolver is properly timed, a key factor in its reliable operation. While the provided data is limited to the title and description, it indicates a short review or 'clip' derived from more in-depth content. The description explicitly links to a full "Revolver 101" video for further learning, suggesting a foundational approach to revolver mechanics and maintenance. The content is likely aimed at revolver owners and those interested in understanding their firearms better.
This video provides a quick tip on understanding revolver timing, explained by Bobby Tyler of Tyler Gun Works. He details how a properly timed revolver aligns its cylinder with the bore and locks up solid as the trigger is pulled. Tyler differentiates between "fast" and "slow" cylinder timings and their negative implications, demonstrating a correctly timed cylinder and briefly discussing his repair process. The content highlights the intricate mechanics of seemingly "old-fashioned" revolvers and features a gunsmith with recognized expertise.
This video details how to diagnose and repair slow timing issues on Smith & Wesson revolvers. The primary cause identified is a worn 'hand' that fails to fully engage the cylinder ratchet. The solution involves fitting a factory oversized hand and precisely honing its engagement surface with an India stone to ensure proper cylinder lock-up.
