This video debunks the myth that it's safe to snap a revolver cylinder shut. The hosts explain that the inertia from this action can bend the yoke (crane), leading to cylinder misalignment and timing issues. While some modern, robust revolvers like Ruger GP100 or Redhawk might tolerate this abuse for a while, older or less robust models like Colts and Smith & Wessons are more susceptible. The video emphasizes that even with durable firearms, the risk of expensive repairs outweighs any perceived benefit of snapping the cylinder shut. They advise against this practice to preserve the longevity and accuracy of revolvers.
