When tightening the ejector rod, I place empty cases in every other chamber. This helps reduce stress on the ejector star. More of an issue on older generation guns where the star is located by two small pins, but still a good practice.
I had this problem once. Ever since then, I check the ejector rid tightness before loading, and periodically during range sessions. No problems since. Love the video!
You got me out of a jam! Thanks so much man. Great info. The ejector rod being on a reverse thread is a key bit of info I wouldn't have realized without your video
Excellent video! I own a lot of firearms but just bought my first revolver about 2 weeks ago. The revolver that I bought is a Ruger SP101 WC-Talo addition. The revolver is chambered in .357 Magnum/.38 Special and has the 3.06” barrel. I am now trying to learn as much about revolvers as possible and I plan on buying many more in the future!
I have quite a few early S&W revolvers that are not reverse threaded in which I did use thread lock. Nothing is more frustrating at the range than having your cylinder lock up. Good video, Thanks
Good video. I once had a Python lock up on slow double or single action. Had to stone a small burr where the hand engaged the cylinder. Funny part is, I bought it from a cop who’d carried it on duty because he didn’t trust “jam-a-matics.” No gun is 100% all the time. Thanks.
Thanks for the clear video with a good description of what you did. I always appreciate the "high tech" tools that have to be used in special occasions!
Just wanted to say thank you! Saved my bacon and a recently found original S&W K-22 Masterpiece! It was really tight and that loose ejector rod turned out to be the culprit. It only took 15 minutes after your video. Keep ‘em coming!
What do you do when your revolver is jammed? Grab your second conceal carry revolver.

Awesome job
Nice video!
I wish the UK had the same firearms laws as the USA , great video m8
Great video
Very educational and straight to the point, no bullshit or drawn out intros. Awesome video!
I LOVE S&W and out of the 10
I love those 686's. I have a 629-1 and I'd really like to get a matching 357 to go with it. You do great work.
I was all set to make a smart comment about revolvers and jamming but you went and taught me something. Nice!

I can tell you enjoy what you do, GREAT job! Keep it up
What do you do when your revolver is jammed? According to the movies I've seen, you throw it at the guy you were shooting at.
