That's millions of repetitions it's mentally programmed into people who may have no prior experience with firearms. "Wrist flipping" is also why Randy Lee didn't have any of his revolver action jobs on display at the NRA show last time it was in Houston. Someone wrist flipped the cylinder on his personal revolver a prior show and ruined it.Projectilisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07297602404833279019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-23377386541906685102016-03-21T03:06:44.543-04:002016-03-21T03:06:44.543-04:00Can't recall which cop shows had that stupid w...Can't recall which cop shows had that stupid wrist flip, back in the 70's and 80's. Plus a few movies over the decades. <br /><br />Anyone have any knowledge of the first screen appearance of it? I suspect a movie in the 1930's, but it's a swag, though.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-88808911725687171382016-03-20T22:48:13.841-04:002016-03-20T22:48:13.841-04:00Crane or yoke.

The ...Or the crane of the revolver for that matter. The twist can seriously damage it as the cylinder goes into the lock. <br /><br />I can see your point, somewhat, with the sear. The cartridge might slow the slide a bit. <br /><br />I doubt it has much difference on a standard factory gun. A hand fitted one such as what you are working on I can see. Could easily undo the handwork you did to get nearly 100% engagement.

Shoot, they may want to file down the tip a bit to make the ejector catch a bit more easy. <br /><br />Not too much, tho!
