    Just how waterproof is a revolver?

    Waterproof Revolver I would also be inclined to wipe down a waterlogged revolver with alcohol as a cleaning solvent. Absolute ethanol would be preferred since it readily forms an azeotrope with residual water and would be very effective in drying water from the wet revolver.
