When I first became interest in the gun community, I had very little knowledge on firearms. I began searching youtube videos for answers and my very first introduction of Barry was this one, "Revolver Etiquette" back in early 2012. His personality immediately made me an instant fan and I have been supporting you guys ever since. I have learned a lot from you Barry, and I'm sad to see you go. Rest in peace my friend, you will be missed by so many.

I showed my employees at the pawn shop I work at this video, and this is how we handle our firearms. Thanks Barry. RIP.

Witnessed another "spin & flick" problem at my local shooting range. This dude came down with a brand new 625 to show off at the weekly training workout. Spun & flicked and simultaneously held his thumb on the hammer, during the flicking part he accidently strained the hammer slightly. Result; He bent the "hand" and damaged one of the 6 points on the "cylinder star", and you could see the "cylinder notch" had a clear dent that was not on the other six cylinder notches. It had to go back to the retailer and sent back to Wischo germany (european retailer) and they in turn sent it to S&W US. He got it back 14 months later, but this time around he did not "spin & flick" it. Spinning and flicking a revolver amongst anyone knowing anything is probably the equivalent of waving a "dummie-flag". (And that is putting it mildly!)

I spotted that beautiful nickel Model 10 right away. I worked in a shop from 93-95. I always advised customers to never do anything they had seen in Hollywood productions- the wrist flick, fanning single actions, spin cocking lever guns, etc. Sounds like the problem is worse now than it was then.

Such knowledge and expertise from Barry. What a gentleman and professional . RIP

Damn Barry, you left us WAY too soon Brother. We really need you NOW

For what it’s worth, Barry helped me out today. I got a 629-6 yesterday on a decent trade. While at the range I was having trouble opening the cylinder. After ironically coming across this video today, I learned the ejection rod my be lose. Sure as shit, it was lose. I tightened it and I’m good to go now. Rest In Peace, Barry.

thanks for the video, a real explanation of how to treat a weapon with care and respect. Now, who the F cowboys a 500 Magnum!?

Barry was a good man. I wish I could’ve met him in person. Glad to have gleaned knowledge from him through this channel.

As a retired Pistolsmith I say...great advice !

I love this channel! One of the few channels that creates very informative, yet fun content. You guys rock! 🙌

Thank you ! I've owned and shot single and double action revolvers for years(I seldom ever give most autos a second look but there are exceptions) and never knew about those tips you just demonstrated. And I'm always careful and particular with any gun(NEVER dry firing without a snap-cap or ammo, don't touch any blued metal parts unless I have a way to immediately clean them etc.) What a great line up of wheel guns too! I may loose sleep over that M-10 Smith.

Just wanted to say thank you. Been shooting revolvers for over 30 years. You have e taught me a couple things I didn't know. Just goes to show gun training never stops.

I really enjoy hearing what Barry has to say about firearms. Thanks for keeping his memory alive.

RIP Barry, thanks for leaving us with so much knowledge. 🙏🏾

Thank you sir. I'm not well versed in revolvers, so this was very informative.

I am glad that i found that Video couple of minutes ago. i immediately checked my Revolver (never cowboyed mine, but it is a used one) and found the crane partially unscrewed. now i do not have to use force to swing out the drum. Hammer push off not possible and it seemes To index OK. the gap mentioned looks also good. unfortunately the crane seems To be bent a little bit. I did not shoot it often, maybe it works good now. thank you very much for sharing this Video.

Thanks you. Proper handling and how to assess whether a used revolver has issues were both welcome presentations. Happy to say that my used Dan Wesson Model 15-2VH doesn't have any of these issues. Bought it in 1988 and really didn't know what to look for.

Barry is a legend! I will never learn more than he has forgotten!!

I came here from the newer video where you explain 8888. I love revolvers and this was really informative. RIP 😢

Small pointer: If you are handling a unloaded S&W then don't index it by hand because this creates/supports the infamous long scratches along the cylinder notches. Best thing to do is after closing the cylinder is to cock the hammer and releasing it softly, thus letting the mechanism of the revolver index itself.

Thanks for the tips. ....... rip Barry

Thanks for all your help Barry.

Love revisiting gun gripes.

Learn something new everyday. I never heard of hammer push off. Seems like a mighty dangerous condition. I have a Model 13 that's had a trigger job before it was mine. I'm going to check for push off right now. Also, checking the spacing between the crane and the frame seems like a good idea.

Rest in peace, ol' chum!

It's refreshing to see knowledgeable, useful advice on revolvers. I have an old S&W 36 that left the factory in 1966. Mine has the pinned barrel, firing pin in hammer, case hardened trigger and hammer, walnut checkered squared grips and the (then new) contoured cylinder release. Mine is hardly used as the top strap behind the forcing cone has very little wear. The bluing is still deep, rich and mirror like. I can see my reflection in it. Would never sell my model 36. Nice video, well done.

I first watched this video back in high school, and ever since I’ve always put Barry’s advice to use when handling revolvers. Rip Barry

Always tilt a Smith forward when spinning so you don't grind and gall up the outer edge of the cylinder on the retainer nub. Colts are held forward on their own with a spring in the crane so you won't damage the cylinder like that.

This just popped up on my feed. Man I miss Barry.
