gasoline dry firing
I'm usually reluctant to criticize something I haven't tried, but this idea of submerging a revolver in gasoline and dry firing it is not one of the better ones I've heard (I've seen this come up quite a few times now).
For one thing, I would expect the gas to act as a lubricant if it has any effect at all. So it would actually defeat the purpose you're trying to achieve, which is to cause parts to wear.
But even if it does work, doesn't this sound like a fairly stupid thing to do? Imagine how embarassed you'll be when something unlikely happens and you blow yourself up. A nice trigger is a nobel pursuit indeed, but you won't catch me with my hand in a tub of gasoline.
