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.
Poor wording on my part. "Rub it" yes, "Rub it so hard it rubs off the finish..." heck no. That is my point I failed to make. I'm not talking about the mark on the plate from the cylinder pin, I mean the part that stops the cylinder from falling out when it is open. And the cylinder should be steel on the 637 versus the aluminum frame.
