I hate cylinder turn rings and when I start noticing them on a new revolver I start thinking "Timing issue". I know this is not usually the cause. I've seen many fine guns in books and forum/inter-net with noticeble turn rings. I know S+W are more apt to rings because of the way the bolt comes in. And yet ,I've seen lots of old S+W with minimum to no rings. What is a good way to minimize the rings. I know dry firing adds to the problem, and they are considered by some to be sort of a 'Badge of Honor". I've heard the response, "If you don't like 'em don't shoot the gun." Can a Hard wax, for instance, slighten the problem? When I look at used guns at a gun show, for instance, the S+W always have the turn rings, although the Colts I've handled, not so much. All of my guns are now single action Colts of some type, Although I've had D/A S+W in the past and may in the future.
