As
steelslaver stated, when you swing out the cylinder & tip the nose of the revolver up, the cylinder will slide off the yoke without something to stop it.
That's what the frame lug does. It stops the cylinder when you tip it up to eject the fired cartridges (down &) out of the cylinder.
With minimal interference between the edge of the cylinder & the frame lug these seem to be susceptible to damage resulting in the cylinder no longer being stopped.
