Checking the condition of a Revolver

Quote:
The nice thing about revolvers is that you can check even without opening the cylinder.

... I take it you are looking for rims on the backside of the cylinder?

You can, but it only takes a second or two more to open the thing.
These statements are not NECESSARLY true. If you revolver has counter-bored charge holes (as in my model 28), then the rims of the cartridges are barely or not visible at all from the rear of the cylinder. Many of the older S&W revolvers were produced in this manner. Best to open the cylinder up boys, just to make sure.

Good Luck & Be Safe
