My best friend in the 60's was my gunsmith. We used to go to Cap'n Weber Days in Stockton.
They had a guy there in the S&W booth and police depts would bring him cop revolvers literally in buckets.
He'd reach in, pick out a gun, click it through the cylinder and feel it.
Then he would take out a long bar of lead and SMACK the cylinder.
In exactly the right place. The gun would be in time, good lockup, crane straight, and back in business.
He seldom needed more than 3-4 whacks.
Fascinating to watch. clickety click WHACK !!!
