When I first became interest in the gun community, I had very little knowledge on firearms. I began searching youtube videos for answers and my very first introduction of Barry was this one, "Revolver Etiquette" back in early 2012. His personality immediately made me an instant fan and I have been supporting you guys ever since. I have learned a lot from you Barry, and I'm sad to see you go. Rest in peace my friend, you will be missed by so many.
Was about to post the same exact comment. Thank you for allowing us to see Barry, even now. Thank you Iraqveteran8888
The first vid I ever saw was the top zombie weapons and kitchen gunsmith also back in 2012. Been a subscriber ever since and still love Barry to this day.
I learned more in 5 minutes here than I have ever being in any gun store!
Shane's World same here!
Shane's World. // The retailer only cares about getting the gun out of the store . All it takes is to have five or less customers with only three or most of the time two employees and you are in a mess . Gun Stores that not have a " Range " are only interested in sales because the lack of the number of employees 🔫
Shane's World amen
It's sad that most gun stores employees are there just for a paycheck, and when asking them questions about a certain item it bothers them.
🙌😎
Once in a while I revisit some of these old Gun Gripes Episodes with Barry. It's like hanging out with an old friend. RIP Mr.1911
Same here. Barry was, one knowledgeable, character. I miss the guy!
There's a little bit of Barry in every 1911 now.....legend Rest in Power King
RIP Barry. We've lost an encyclopedia with your passing.
veteran35th Wait, what? Barry passed away??? When? Oh man! I'm so sorry to hear that.
veteran35th i didnt no i liked him :'(
google is your best friend
He had a heart attack. But that happened after Moss Pawn fired him and Eric threw him under the bus for some legal troubles.
Barry made the channel watchable. Eric's videos are about as watchable as a middleschooler showing off his airsoft collection.
Meh...
Holy crap, I never realized how big the .500 was. That thing is massive! haha
Love going back and watching some Old Gun Gripes with Barry! Classics........
Barry was the reason why I subscribed this channel. Barry's death was a tremendous lost to both iraqveteran8888 and the Gun Community as a whole.
Rest in peace Barry, i learned so much from you. You will be sorely missed by us all.
Recently handed my brother in law a pristine S&W Model 29 .44 mag to look over. The first thing he does is spin the cylinder and flips it closed. I physically winched. Never again. What a ass.
Oh my god, I just had to imagine that for a sec and it made me physically wince. That would be something my brother would do
dude i jst showed my friend my brand new 686+ and hw did the same shit! fuck that pissed me off
oscar rodriguez Strictly guard your revolvers.
Never ever hand your revolver to someone before explaining to them that you do not fucking spin or slam the cylinder, I don't care if they're some former SEALs guy who owns five hundred guns and are rolling their eyes the whole time.
+Sergei Ivanovich Mosin I've had a friend do it THREE times after I told him not to. Now there is unsightly wear on the locking notches. People just don't understand revolvers I guess
The 500 magnum looks like it belongs in a circus.
It will get you right through the house to yours, into your fridge where you hiding Bozo.
Smith And Wesson 500 is no joke! It's a good handgun hunting gun. But if your hiking out in the wilderness in Bear Country it's good to have because it's the only thing that can protect you from a Bear.
It is comically large.
@@joshuascreations7526 that maybe so but it makes good use if your hiking in Bear Country or you want to put a Elk stake on the grill. This guy at the gun range had me set in a seat. He told me to hold still. He shoot to S&W 500 and it knock me out of the seat with the loud BOOMM!!!!😂😂😂😆 😆.
I showed my employees at the pawn shop I work at this video, and this is how we handle our firearms.
Thanks Barry. RIP.
Witnessed another "spin & flick" problem at my local shooting range. This dude came down with a brand new 625 to show off at the weekly training workout. Spun & flicked and simultaneously held his thumb on the hammer, during the flicking part he accidently strained the hammer slightly. Result;
He bent the "hand" and damaged one of the 6 points on the "cylinder star", and you could see the "cylinder notch" had a clear dent that was not on the other six cylinder notches.
It had to go back to the retailer and sent back to Wischo germany (european retailer) and they in turn sent it to S&W US. He got it back 14 months later, but this time around he did not "spin & flick" it.
Spinning and flicking a revolver amongst anyone knowing anything is probably the equivalent of waving a "dummie-flag".
(And that is putting it mildly!)
I always forget how much of a nightmare that can be in Europe.
my brother did that spin and slam shut cylinder on my colt python, he is no longer welcomed at my house
P Never let anyone smalm shit on anything you own. It's unsanitary.
sibco96 haha, i meant Slam shut. good eye my friend!
P I know but I couldn't resist. 😀
Lol oh I would never talk to them again.
On a python to boot, damn that’s a shame.
Barry . we miss you a lot :'(
I think I took him for granted on the channel :(
Damn I was wondering why I haven't seen him in any newer videos.... He was certainly my favorite guy from this channel. RIP old boy. Was it just heart disease/natural causes that took him?
He committed suicide I think.
Fuck you, he did.
Smirking Smirkku he had a heart attack
Man looking back at these videos makes me sad.
RIP Barry.
Great tips to know! Just got my first revolver yesterday. This man has lots of knowledge. Since he can no longer share it, we gotta share what he gave us.
6g5
Barry's fixing heaven's guns now
Preparing the troops to fight Satan's army.
Stupid comment
Where’s heaven? I heard that it is near Kansas City. Is that true?
the angels use them to pick off any demons trying to cross the border between heaven & hell
@@zilchnilton more like heaven and earth
re-watching all Barry episodes
Yep, me too. Hadn't watched any for 5 years and now I find out that Barry has passed away in the interim. The guy was just cool and the type of guy it would be fun to be around.
same, 4th day already
Coming back in 2020 cause I miss Barry and love revolvers. That man is a real legend.
Rip barry...you were and still are a badass dude that anyone with an i.q. over room temperature Would love to have as a father or grandfather...much love to his family...he will be missed and my daughter will hopefully be watching these vids long after we are gone
Thanks for the good advice! It's always good to hear stuff like this from people who actually know what they're talking about.
is that a 500 magnum or a missile launching platform!
both?
GIVE ME THE PRECIOUS!!
Torpedo* to be precise as hickok45 calls them
It is a 37 gauge shotgun
certified30 It's a damn battleship anchor! I hear they're coming out with a 14-shot .22LR version on that frame.
Rip Barry. We miss you you have a ton of knowledge and you are a good teacher . Thank s
For what it’s worth, Barry helped me out today. I got a 629-6 yesterday on a decent trade. While at the range I was having trouble opening the cylinder. After ironically coming across this video today, I learned the ejection rod my be lose. Sure as shit, it was lose. I tightened it and I’m good to go now. Rest In Peace, Barry.
Man that first revolver that was all shined up. That was boss
I think that it's nickel, not stainless. Awesome piece!
Barry was a good man. I wish I could’ve met him in person. Glad to have gleaned knowledge from him through this channel.
thanks for the video, a real explanation of how to treat a weapon with care and respect. Now, who the F cowboys a 500 Magnum!?
I spotted that beautiful nickel Model 10 right away. I worked in a shop from 93-95. I always advised customers to never do anything they had seen in Hollywood productions- the wrist flick, fanning single actions, spin cocking lever guns, etc. Sounds like the problem is worse now than it was then.
Hi how are you doing 😊
@@mariarusso1155 Okay. Getting by, like everyone else. You?
@@troy9477 I’m good thank you for writing me back.
I had no idea! I thought it was ok to spin the cylinder and flip it in. Thanks guys, I won't ever do that again. And i apologize for the times i have done that
Clown
@@marley1995dude, he's learning and actually LISTENING. you are the clown here.
As a retired Pistolsmith I say...great advice !
Barry you still live on in our memories! Thank you for all the knowledge
Rewatching my Barry playlist, miss him so much and loved watching the videos that he appeared in.
The way he would explain how things worked, and just generally being himself.
Hope you rest in peace, and have a good time shooting all the guns you want.
God, if you give us back Barry, we'll give you Justin Bieber and Lindsay Lohan.
And a few Kardashians as freebies
And Obama
+Anthony Owens And Piers Morgan and the Gov. of NY Cuomo.
Toss in Trump and Kanye West.
+Quentin Smith And every anti-gun nut in the Country including Michael Bloomberg.
My dad told me about the cylinder 40+ years ago. He wasn't a gunsmith just an ex-cop. He said "It's not good for the weapon and may damage it." made sense to me...
This just came back up on my feed after 7 years. Rest In Peace Barry, We all miss you.
Thank you !
I've owned and shot single and double action revolvers for years(I seldom ever give most autos a second look but there are exceptions) and never knew about those tips you just demonstrated. And I'm always careful and particular with any gun(NEVER dry firing without a snap-cap or ammo, don't touch any blued metal parts unless I have a way to immediately clean them etc.)
What a great line up of wheel guns too! I may loose sleep over that M-10 Smith.
I love this channel! One of the few channels that creates very informative, yet fun content. You guys rock! 🙌
Such knowledge and expertise from Barry. What a gentleman and professional .
RIP
This showed up on my feed today and the first thing that came to mind is “wow, those were the good ole’ days of ammo.” 😂
Just wanted to say thank you. Been shooting revolvers for over 30 years. You have e taught me a couple things I didn't know. Just goes to show gun training never stops.
Damn Barry, you left us WAY too soon Brother. We really need you NOW
Just subscribed to your channel a few days ago. I must have watched about 30 gripes episodes, then I found out about Barry's passing. RIP Barry. You are a true asset to the firearm community.
Been awhile since I’ve come back to this video, dang do I miss this guy a lot. Thank you IV8888 for keeping his legacy alive
I said it before on this site, but, I really miss Barry. He was a good guy !!!! A man after my own heart. I feel confident that he is up THERE looking down on all of us. And I believe he is one happy man where he is, and just waiting to be reunited and united with people cut of a good cloth..............
I can only imagine how much knowledge we lost when this man went on. Like a modern Library of Alexandria.
Barry is a legend! I will never learn more than he has forgotten!!
I love going back in time and watching these older videos 😊
Had a friend cowboy my .357 once. He is never allowed to hold it, ever again!
+Benjamin Melikant 357 is a badass gun
+Imasharkrawr 357 is a cartridge not a gun model
+William Schoenfeld Smart Ass
+William Schoenfeld colt had a model called the .357
Same thing happened to me.
I came here from the newer video where you explain 8888. I love revolvers and this was really informative. RIP 😢
Thanks for all your help Barry.
I learn so much from Barry, Eric & Chad's videos....it's like going back to school. I've had S&W revolvers for 40 years and didn't know some this stuff.
I really like that old re-parkerized Colt revolver. That's one nice looking gun.
Patrick Nathaniel O'Neal . That's like pointing out the fat girl in the group and saying you like that one. To each their own but the Model 10 and the 629 engraved would be my choice.
I love the look of the gun even though the color makes it look like it is an unrendered model
Fat girls are like mopeds there fun to ride but you don't want your buddies to see you doing it.
Small pointer: If you are handling a unloaded S&W then don't index it by hand because this creates/supports the infamous long scratches along the cylinder notches. Best thing to do is after closing the cylinder is to cock the hammer and releasing it softly, thus letting the mechanism of the revolver index itself.
swaficionado That’s a good point! At least on a stainless gun the line can be somewhat smoothed out with the right grain of cloth. I did that years ago after getting an older Model 66. It didn’t take much effort to clean it off. Good Day to You!
@@tierone4761 All revolvers will get a drag line from the normal operation anyway though. The lug pops up before the cylinder is fully in place as it cocks the hammer which eventually leaves a mark. All my single actions have as much of a line as my double actions do.
swaficionado it scratches the cylinder by cocking it. My gun has only ever been cocked but the line is there. Hold your gun up to the light & cock it, watch the lock pin, it rubs against the cylinder.
desertfox2020 correct
@@vsmichael1 absolutely. Best thing to do actually is to index it before closing...and take off the burr on the cylinder stop. Cheers!
Saved this video! I’m currently in the market for my very first gun and I’ve decided to go revolver. Most likely a Ruger SP101 .357 3”. I’ve been absolutely binging CZcams videos to sponge as much knowledge as I possibly can. This might be the most valuable yet priceless video I’ve come across! Thank you!!
You guys are always worth a watch. This was an exceptionally useful video.
A primer on revolver etiquette and proper handling is a must for new owners and novice shooters. Without sensible habits a shooter is a danger to him/herself and those around.
This is a wonderful video ! Barry,and friends give you real world knowledge,and practical advise. These Gun gripes episodes are the greatest ! I have waited many years for this kind of information made available to the public.Bad handgun practices tend to be perpetuated by false information,and ignorance ! Good work guys !
+Ron Strzelczyk Barry died
PcJoe243; Thank You !
+PcJoe243 He did not really die. He checked himself out.
I first watched this video back in high school, and ever since I’ve always put Barry’s advice to use when handling revolvers. Rip Barry
One o the kindest, wisest voices I've ever heard on this subject.
Rest in peace, ol' chum!
thanks for the video!! its good to see someone that actually knows what they are talking about!!!!
This video taught me how to handle revolvers years ago. It wasn't until going back and watching his old videos that I realized it was an IV8888 gun gripe! Man I've been subscribed to your channel for a very very long time.
Damn that smith is beautifull. I have 2 revolvers right now but i owned 1000s in my life. And i allways known not to slam the cylender my dad taught me that and everything i know about firearms. Dad was an old war horse. He served in the korean war as a foot soldier. R I P pop ill never forget you and i miss you.
Thank you!!! I tried to find what "Cowboying" a revolver. Couldn't find anything, then found this vid. I was doing this, not knowing. I know now!!!!!
I am glad that i found that Video couple of minutes ago. i immediately checked my Revolver (never cowboyed mine, but it is a used one) and found the crane partially unscrewed. now i do not have to use force to swing out the drum. Hammer push off not possible and it seemes To index OK. the gap mentioned looks also good.
unfortunately the crane seems To be bent a little bit. I did not shoot it often, maybe it works good now.
thank you very much for sharing this Video.
Just popped up in my feed. I miss that old guy(fine soul). God bless you and all the patriots of Georgia.👍🏼
Thanks you. Proper handling and how to assess whether a used revolver has issues were both welcome presentations. Happy to say that my used Dan Wesson Model 15-2VH doesn't have any of these issues. Bought it in 1988 and really didn't know what to look for.
Barry had a great style of imparting knowledge, pity he passed away
I’m still learning from Barry, even years after he’s been gone. Thank you my friend! 😉👍
I really enjoy hearing what Barry has to say about firearms. Thanks for keeping his memory alive.
Boy I miss Barry. Good man, full of wisdom… can’t believe it’s been 11 years. Now in 2022! And all that ammo!! 😫
Thank you sir. I'm not well versed in revolvers, so this was very informative.
I miss Barry, he was one of those patient teachers. The Mr. Rogers of deadly firearms.
Always tilt a Smith forward when spinning so you don't grind and gall up the outer edge of the cylinder on the retainer nub.
Colts are held forward on their own with a spring in the crane so you won't damage the cylinder like that.
Great channel and great resource for some real info. RIP Barry
The Q stands for Qualification target. Definitely not Quantico lol. I know this because I spent some time with the FBI and DEA while in the Marine Corps taking the HRP and SAWIC courses.
R.I.P. Barry. That man sure had talent for teaching!
It's really good to see Mr. Barry again-and you too,Eric.
Man I love this channel, great information.
Thanks for the tips. ....... rip Barry
Learn something new everyday. I never heard of hammer push off. Seems like a mighty dangerous condition. I have a Model 13 that's had a trigger job before it was mine. I'm going to check for push off right now. Also, checking the spacing between the crane and the frame seems like a good idea.
Came in late here, but quickly learned a few things that I should have known as a kid! This guy definitely seems to know what he's talking about, and is clear and to the point. I miss him already and this is the first video I've seen. Well, everyone's revolvers are going to last longer now, just b/c we watched this!
I just bought my first gun last week, 38 special revolver. Really glad I came across this videos as to how to properly handle revolvers. Thank you so much
I slammed my 500 shut the first time, and the cylinder jammed.. last time I did that... what an amateur move.
I thought about it for a millisecond after getting mine home. Then I remembered my .38spc snubby is worn out from the previous owner (dad) doing that to it.
You motor-boatin' son of a bitch
I don’t know anything about revolvers, but it just makes sense to take care of something you own, and, yes, love.
Take care of your revolver and it will take care of you if and/or when it's needed.
Even 2022, this VLOG was so helpful, thank you!
RIP Barry, God bless you are missed!
This just popped up on my feed. Man I miss Barry.
When I was buying my S&W 686 at the gun shop on Friday the guy at the register was spinning the cylinder then flipping it shut on my soon to be gun while waiting to call in my info... After a good stare he stopped lol
I would have made him get me a different one then....
Aaron mann it was the only one they had and it was used and only $600 which is a great deal. If he broke anything their gunsmith fixes it for free but apon inspection its all good
Kyle Clark 600 for a 686 is a great deal indeed! What barrel length does it have?
4" which is the one I was looking to get. I got really lucky. Had to drop it off at the gun smith today because the hammer would drop before the cylinder would lock up but luckily since I brought it in within 30 days of buying it, their gun smith will fix it for free. :)
I would have made him pick another one. Last thing you want to do is buy a gun that has to go back to the factory.
It's refreshing to see knowledgeable, useful advice on revolvers. I have an old S&W 36 that left the factory in 1966. Mine has the pinned barrel, firing pin in hammer, case hardened trigger and hammer, walnut checkered squared grips and the (then new) contoured cylinder release. Mine is hardly used as the top strap behind the forcing cone has very little wear. The bluing is still deep, rich and mirror like. I can see my reflection in it. Would never sell my model 36. Nice video, well done.
this guy is awesome! the beard of Wisdom!
he did leave these wonderful videos and I thank him. RIP
I can't believe Barry is gone. R.I.P. BARRY!!!
Your videos never get old play them often
Love me some old-school Iraqveteran8888 . When I got into firearms Eric and Barry was my way to gather some actual knowledge. Barry left behind a library of knowledge, thanks for that. Eric and Chad is carrying the channel forward, it's nice to see.
BARRY come back to us! We need you!
We all miss him man :(
RIP Barry
juniorloccz The one with le beard brother
Yeah what happened with Mr. Barry?
He passed away years ago...
That's amazing. There's a lot more to revolvers than i assumed. Thanks.
Hi how are you doing 😊
@@mariarusso1155 Hiya. Just hangin' in. Sometimes i hang out.
@@piehound Nice to hear from you. Just looking for someone to talk to
@@mariarusso1155 what brings you to this particular video ? My comment is 3 years old. Are you a gun owner / shooter ???
@@piehound Was going through the channel and came across you here that’s why i messaged you if you don’t mind talking to know each other?
RIP Barry, thanks for leaving us with so much knowledge. 🙏🏾
Man!! Do we miss Barry...Wish you were still with us, buddy...Miss the days looking forward to a gripes or whatever video and hearing your voice and vast knowledge...Never forgotten old friend...
I bought my first handgun, a revolver, a few weeks ago. I watched these videos before hand, and i found myself in an odd situation. I went to the range and had to explain revolver handling someone kept "cowboying" his revolver which irritated me >.
good revolver etiquette: leave the thing in the museum where it belongs!
Why haha
Love revisiting gun gripes.
