Anyone pop the side plate when they buy a used revolver?
I have done so and found a ton of old dried grease/dirt fouling and cleaned it out to bare metal than properly re-lubricated. I want to get that stuff out of there to ensure the best function I can.
Anyone else do this? I know popping plates is a controversial subject, but I feel like it is warranted when getting an old revolver you plan to shoot and using PROPER technique I have never had any problems at when doing this.
Do you do this? Thoughts?
