You know, when you compare the way S&W bends theirs to the Taurus, the Taurus looks like it is bent further than it should be even though that is the way it came from the factory.

Thanks, guys.

I suppose some folks are new to revolvers I guess. The "bend" is for a purpose. It is to force any loose rounds into the cylinder when closing the crane. If the cylinder is closed in other than a position facing down, let's say with the gun in the horizontal position..........this is what it's for.
STEP AWAY FROM THE REVOLVER!!!

Never say never though......... There's a few out there that aren't built like this. This is an old guy I keep around for fun.
I can say, since this post started, I have paid more attention to the for lack of a better word "feed ramp" on revolvers that I never really paid attention to before. Seems various manufactures do theirs quite differently.
Good post!
