"Snapping" a cylinder open and closed!

[keano44]

That's what I thought, just checking. Thanks again.

It's a little bit like swinging your car doors out hard.
It won't necessarily "spring" your doors but it sure ain't good for them.

Let me tell you that it WILL spring your car door, Bubba.

I did it.

At least it will do it if you have a pice of crap 1991 Plymouth Sundance.

Somebody snaps a cylinder on MY gun and I'll snap their wrist!

Ite...I'm glad I read this thread. I always figured snapping the cylinder was Hollywood show-offiness, but I didn't know it could actually damage the gun.

So far

no one has come up with the proper shovel swing to discourage the cylinder snapping.

 

[Mike Irwin]

Sure they have, Lavan.

Lots of wrist.

It's just like snapping the cylinder closed on a revolver.
