Hey my father has had a Ruger redhawk since 1982. Awesome gun, and hasnt been shot very much.
He just passed it down to me, which Im thrilled about. However in doing research I realized that spinning/snap closing the cylinder is very bad for the gun. When my brother and I were younger we did this a number of times. Not a hundred or anything like that but enough where I remember doing it.
So I checked the timing of the gun with a flashlight like they say to do online and it seems spot on perfect. Little if any cylinder play at full lock up. I guess Im wondering if we did any damage to the gun and if so what I could inspect to figure out if we did.
Thanks!
