From what I just read on this subject somewhere on this forum, it seems very few of you ever remove the cylinder from the revolver in order to clean the chambers.

How you do manage to get them clean without loosening the front sideplate screw, taking the crane out & slipping the cylinder off, is beyond me.

At least NOW I understand why all the front sideplate screws on the guns in your photo's are always so pristine ! You just never touch them, right ?
