Awesome video, best video I’ve seen on a j frame, clear and completely absent jumpy editing. Was worried about breaking into mine but this really made it clear.
Thank you very much for the detailed dis + reassembly! Saved me sending mine back in to smith or going to a revolver specialist gunsmith. My shop didnt have anyone who knows revolvers, so I choose to learn to deep clean mine and go into internals on my own. You really mean it when you say "take great care not to lose this spring" because every part and spring matters. I found that out the hard way 😅 lost my cylinder stop spring on removal, but called s&w and they sent me 2 in the mail free when I explained what happened. I was much more careful and better setup with my new spring and with some slight fumbles and fighting springs here and there, got everything back together and functioning perfectly. Cleaned all my internals up, and now my revolver functions better then new.. clean, smooth and springs broken in. Your video gave me the confidence needed and allowed me to learn more about and take better care of my j frame. Thanks again, so very much!! Many other videos just say "reverse the disassembly process" you didn't skimp on explaining important parts of checking along the way to ensure its done proper. 👍👍 if I could double thumbs up this video I would but I'll settle for a like and a long comment 😂👏
I have a 442 no lock model, I put crimson trace laser boot grips on it, great gun, my only complaint about the j frame airweights is the finish wear, it's like it just rubs right off.
Thanks for the honest feedback. We will try to do a better job on the lighting next time. Or, we will use a weapon that isn't as dark in color. Again, thanks for your comment.
I now know what California screws are and I feel forever indebted.
Glad we could help!
Why does Smith & Wesson have such complicated locks ? What causes lock

i laughed at the california screw comment. i am californian please save me
Thanks for the comment. It's appreciated. 👍
My side plate near the trigger doesn’t completely close, any idea why that could be? Gun works fine and Ive tightened the screw near the trigger.
Is it needed to lube internals for revolver care and what is name of that tool you used on rebound spring? New revolver owner here
Thank you for vid but it was really hard to see what you were doing on a gun like that how on heck would do a tiger job
Thanks for the honest feedback. We will try to do a better job on the lighting next time. Or, we will use a weapon that isn't as dark in color. Again, thanks for your comment.
Yeah those tiger jobs are difficult. Dangerous even
