Are you saying that with your revolver's barrel pointing up, the cylinder will rub the frame stud only if you use force to create contact? The reason I ask is because it is perfectly normal for a revolver's cylinder to contact the frame stud when the barrel is pointing up simply from the force of gravity.

Opening and closing the cylinder while it is contacting the frame stud WILL cause wear and it doesn't take any added force for it to occur. It's steel against steel.
