Right up front, I'm new to revolvers. A few months ago I bought a 686 and have had a blast. Great gun, truly accurate, fine trigger, smooth presentation, nice fit, low recoil. . .
And it is a first class pain in the arse to clean. Oh, how I hate cleaning a revolver. Its a real problem because I like clean handguns.
I perceive it would be easier to clean by removing the cylinder and yoke. It appears to be advantageous to remove the ejector star from the cylinder. That way I can get a handle on the gun and do a better job.
Am I the only one why hates cleaning revolvers? Would life be any better if I would disassemble the cylinder?
