A brief explanation of how the cylinder stop works in a revolver. It is elegant simplicity. One part with a simple coil spring moves in two different ways depending on the necessary function and the input it receives from the trigger. Its geometry and interaction with the trigger allows it to either pivot or slide linearly.
The example shown here is the 2020 Colt Python, but you’ll find similar mechanisms on S&W or Taurus revolvers.
