Wanted to know where you guys draw the line between hard use and abuse of your wheelguns.
Cosmetics do not apply, I'm talking timing, or parts replacement at faster intervals.
Most everyone knows about loading a revolver, slamming the cylinder.
Can closing it by the cylinder and not the crane cause timing issues?
Fast dry firing, or erratic fast firing?
If I jerk the trigger halfway I feel the cylinder spin, and lock into the notch while I prep the hammer. If I do it smoothly these operations occur simultaneously.
Having the cylinder spin after locking into a notch. Found this by accident when practicing one handed reloads. When I use close the cylinder using the side of my body I heard the cylinder click more than once from indexing a little too hard. Immediately didn't like it, so I avoid indexing after closing.
I see no damage to the notches or (word for the thing that locks them in place).
If this can cause damage to that part, can I buy this part as a drop in replacement or will it need to be fitted by gunsmith?
Turn rings, burn rings, cosmetic issues, scratches, etc do not concern me.
I have a 442, but I'm also interested in across-the-board revolver information from different mfg's and ways to safely and reliably use revolvers hard.
Thank you, I'd be grateful to know of any other revolver no-no's or things that moderately or severely limit their useful lifespan.
