Okay I found your video (but I still suggest you link it in your other thread)
Review of video:
-don't wear big logos or words on your chest
-most people don't care about the paperwork
-you include a LOT of very specialized info on the gun at the beginning (production numbers from two different sources) that is only interested to the most advanced collectors, and then state blatantly obvious info such as it can use 38 specials too. Decide on your audience, and tailor your message to them
-about half of modern 357s are 7 shot now.
-place a light source at your camera pointing at the gun
-when bringing gun close to camera to show features, wait a few seconds as the camera finally focuses just as you pull it away.
-you fail to mention the extra grip in the box, yet to cover the pile of paperwork?
-stay away from extremely obvious comments "a flag comes up by the hammer that says 'locked' so you know if it is locked or unlocked" Okay, we can read the word locked for ourselves. Either don't bother getting it that close to the camera, or don't read it for us. Second, and much more annoying is that you explain to us how to interpret what the flag means.
-much more pertinent info would be how easy it is to feel the flag, how far away from the hammer is it? Is it giong to be easy or difficult to detect that flag in the dark to determine if you need to find the key and unlock it.
-we can't see the cylinders because lack of light coming from by the camera
-You should not use 'we' as there is no 'we' only you, unless you are royal
-Flick closing of the cylinder, my understanding is the real danger is that it will losoen up the crane over time, or possibly even bend it. The cylinder drag line is something unrelated, but can be exaserbated by a loose crane, but mainly related to not having an absolutely perfectly fitted revolver, and is a standard sign of wear. I suppose that carefully rocking it in might have the added benifit of reducing the drag line, but the main reason it is shuned is real damage, not cosmetic damage.
-concentrate more on the fact of your muzzle being pointed in a safe direction, because ALL FIREARMS ARE LOADED. We have no way of knowing if you have extra live ammo rolling around your desk somewhere.
-"It is a double action and a single action revolver" Umm, never heard it put like that before. I have heard double action, and traditional double action, to distinguish from double action only, but to say it is a double and a single I think is wrong. Even if you are choosing to thumbcock the hammer, the potential is still there for double action
-is this a video going over the details of this particular gun, or an instuctional video showing how to check lockup? Teach me about THIS gun, or teach me lockup, don't do both.
-move 'like this' try the term rotate
-move 'this way' try the term forward and back
-oh, NOW you get to the grips....okay, remove them from view and then review them right after you show off your custom grips, or mention them in passing as you inventory the box.
this criticism is intended to be constructive
