Like I said, "all" cylinders are removed. Can't see what the problem is. Small screwdriver and about 2 minutes. Been doing this for about 30 years. What problems do you see? Pistols are intact. No mags, no ammo, not much use.
For you, sounds like it works. 30 years is a long time to do something.
Problems that I would definitely see for me...
1) buggered screw is possible... not because I'm careless, simply because the more more more you do something, the -far- more you up your chance simply by the numbers.
2) where do I put all these cylinders? In little felt bags or pouches so they don't get dinged up? Is there is a special shelf somewhere with little name plates for quick identification? I'm now looking for a spot for somewhere around two dozen cylinders and the revolvers that actually HOLD them are occupying the perfect space on this planet for exactly those cylinders. In the revolver... they don't get mixed, misidentified, misplaced, dinged up or anything else.
3)
what, pray tell, might I possibly have solved -- in any possible way -- by yanking all my cylinders from all my revolvers?! I suppose I could also yank mainsprings from all my revolvers also... and I could pull every slide from every pistol, maybe stow in a third location all of my
barrels, too.
4) I shoot over 10k rounds yearly. Am I really wanting to add minor assembly to my checklist of things to do the night before a range trip? Plenty of my favorites certainly don't even get cleaned when I know they will be going out again in a week, I can't imagine disassembling them for storage.
5) I'll be darned if I ever did figure out how to even remove the cylinder from my double action Ruger revolvers...?! Come to think of it, I know how to get my S&W cylinders off and the two Taurus ones are same way. Colt, Dan Wesson? I'm not sure exactly how those come off either. Maybe just as easy as the S&W...
6) this is a 600 lb gun safe and it's bolted through the floor. If the bad guys bring an elite breaching unit of highly trained career professionals to enter it, will I really get much of a "last laugh" when they make off with bagfuls of revolvers that have no cylinders in them? If they do, what am I going to do with twelve pounds of cylinders with no revolvers to put them back in to? Pencil holders for the desk that has everything.
Isn't this like parking your car in the garage, rolling up the windows, locking the doors, locking the garage -- and then yanking the wheels off also and hiding them under the kitchen sink?
