I don't claim that "flipping a revolver cylinder is good for the gun, but it is not the instant destruction some folks have been told it is. I once decided to test that claim, so I loaded the cylinder of a S&W M&P with dummy rounds and spent all one morning flipping the cylinder in and out. All that resulted was a very sore wrist that took a week to recover. Visual checks and checks with a range rod showed no misalignment of the cylinder or crane.

Do I advocate doing the "fiip"? No. Will it ruin a revolver? Apparently not.
