Dan Wesson .357 help

[Billll]

Friend of mine has a Dan Wesson .357. Don't know the model, but it's similar to his S&W 357, and my Taurus. The difference is that where the other 2 guns have a small screw on the right side of the frame that frees the bridge group for cleaning, the Dan Wesson has 2 rivets or pins. It seems to me that pushing out dowel pins is a lot of work to get at the cylinder for cleaning. Is there a "secret handshake" involved here?

NO!!! DON'T TOUCH THAT PUNCH ...

1. Remove the barrel and shroud assembly.

2. Remove the slideplate screws.

3. Gently pop off the sideplate.

4. At the front a small "C" ring will be found in a groove in the yoke. Lift it out.

5. Unlatch the cylinder and pull it forward.

6. Reassemble in reverse order.
