open the cylinder , clean

I sometimes remove the cylinder on used guns that come in our Shop. I always remove the Grips. I normally don't remove the side plate. I spray inside the gun with Gun Scrubber and blow it out with a compressor. When I'm done cleaning a Revolver its SPOTLESS.

i remove cylinder and yoke for ease in cleaning and never touch the side plate. i never put a dirty gun in the safe no matter how many rounds i fire.
