- Brownells Gun Tech™ Steve Ostrem talks with our friend Bobby Tyler of Tyler Gun Works about revolver accuracy. Bobby's shop does a lot of revolver accurizing, so the question is: How do you make a revolver more accurate? Most important is to tune the action - the hammer, trigger, cylinder, and the timing. You need a clean hammer break, the trigger should not have too much overtravel, and when the cylinder is in the locked position, the chamber should line up perfectly with the forcing cone and the bore. The barrel-cylinder gap should be kept to a bare minimum, .003" to .004", to prevent excess loss of gas that will harm bullet velocity. Also VERY important to accuracy is the bullet's final contact point with the barrel, so Bobby's crew puts a target crown on their custom revolvers. The target crown also protects the exit hole from damage if you drop the gun. So if your budget is a bit tight but you still want to tighten up the accuracy of your revolver, Bobby recommends going for an action job and an accuracy package, which'll address all these critical areas and leave a little money left for ammo to cover the other critical aspect of revolver accuracy: practice at the range.
Got a story about revolver accuracy? A problem solved? Or one you never solved? Tell us about it in the comments!
Seems to me that the best way to improve the accuracy of a revolver is to practice a lot with it!
I've found that if I want my revolver to shoot faster and more accurately, its just best to hand it over to Miculek
For most folks, it isn't the revolver that needs to have its accuracy improved. It's the person operating it.
How do you make your revolver more accurate? Practice, practice, practice.
I want to know more about that octagon barrel piece. That's sure pretty
One of my first guns was a Colt Trooper Mk 3 (wish I'd never sold it, of course). I think it was untouched from the factory. That thing was
I'm new to firearms, but I've been to the range a few times and the revolver I was shooting was more accurate than the semi-auto on both occasions. It might be a mindset thing for me, but I really enjoyed the revolver. The way they function is just so cool.
Love the vids guys
I picked up an old Iver Johnson cadet in 38 S&W that had a huge 0.015" barrel Gap.
Dan N is right ! Improve the accuracy of the SHOOTER not the gun. Most guns shoot better than the person shooting them !
Great video!
Jerking your gun and making the cylinder slam shut, like you see in the movies, will throw your timing off. If the timing is off, you will split the lead when the bullet leaves the cylinder and goes into the barrel. Always, and I mean always close the cylinder carefully and gently on your revolver. The timing is one factor that makes your revolver more accurate. So please do yourself a favor and don’t slam the cylinder shut.
Ah ok thank you for the info. I understand what to do. Shimming, polishing, tightening screws, changing sights or grips and testing different manufactured or self loaded ammo.
Hard to believe but I found an FIE Buffalo Scout at a flea market and got it for $35. Has the .22 magnum cylinder too. Just had to replace the firing pin and clean it up. I know they aren’t expensive but I was happy.
My muzzle crown was burred from the factory, half pointed in the other half pointed out. This caused 6-8" low and left at 10-15 yards. Lapped the muzzle myself, much better now. Thanks a bunch S&W (sarcastically)...
Sounds like nothing that I dont already have with my GP100
Thanks and Blessings Gents on this day of remembering our Veterans, past and present..... great video! I regret that I traded a Bisley Vacquero about 20 years ago.
How about a Crimson Trace Laser. That works pretty good too
What would it cost to get a Ruger Blackhawk, .357 "accurized"?
Throw away & get a Glock? Nah, just kidding, I love my Single Actions! But couldn't hold myself back ;) Great Content, like everytime here at Brownells. Thank you.
