Congratulations, you ruined a revolver that Smith & Wesson fitters took pride in when was assembled. I remember speaking to fitters that told me when they finished with a gun, you could barely see the side plate. Can I ask you a question, when you buy a new car, do you take it home and tear down the engine?

Point taken. However, sadly, I have owned several S&W revolvers that had rust inside the lockwork, unknown to me until I opened the gun up. So, it can pay off to open up the gun.
