- Forget the other instructions and expensive tools you have seen, because only a Smith & Wesson factory trained Armorer has learned the correct procedure that will ensure that your valued gun is not damaged. With nothing more than a screwdriver, disassembly is quick and easy, and reassembly just as simple!

This is the kind of timeless expert information TH-cam was made for. Thank you, Sir... And heres to all the fine craftsman of this country! 🏆
I am thrilled to have found this by chance. Once he started talking about the screwdriver, I knew I should listen up.
This man has 163k subscribers. If just a quarter or third would donate just a dollar or more a month to his Patreon it would go a long ways to helping Gunblue. You can’t put a price on this man’s knowledge. A true treasure.
Mike you are a wonderment few are left Thank you kitchen table im back shove over dear wife
We're watching the master at work. These videos are priceless. Thanks Gunblue!
I’m a big revolver person, and really appreciate you, and the channel ❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Oh shit! Your camera quality is excellent. I haven’t been here in a while. Thank you for taking the time to educate us. Without people like you, jewels of information like this would be hard to find.
Thank you! I just inherited two S&Ws, one from 1945 and another from 1952. While I don't want to have to open up either one, it's amazing to see an expert do it!
I was an Air Force CATM Instructor. This was the exact same way they taught us in Tech School back in 1980 to work on our M-15's.
Excellent presentation. I did warranty work for S&W as a licensed gunsmith in New York City. I took the armorers courses at S&W for both revolvers and pistols and still have the manuals. It was and is a responsibility I take very seriously. Your description is exactly as it was taught.
This sir is such valuable information to maintain and preserve our investments in the SMITH & WESSON revolvers. Thank you so much. I remember watching the armorer for The Oklahoma City Police Department do the disassembly and assembly, just as you have demonstrated here. That was back in about 1972, I had a new Model 28 Highway Patrolman 6" and a set of target trigger and hammer for it. Things were a lot different back then and he had invited myself and a buddy to bring our pistols to the police range where he had his gunsmith shop. I still have that model 28 and enjoy target shooting with it in spite of my old eyesight. Again much obliged for the excellent and detailed instruction, which I have found nowhere else other than your channel. God bless you and yours sir.
I have 2 S&W revolvers (.22 and .357) and I think they are awesome! But the challenge has been how to properly dismantle them for cleaning etc. After having seen this video I know how to do it. Thousand thanks🤗 and greetings from Finland🇫🇮
Smith and Wesson Wheelgun Masterclass!! Thank you!!!
I have a Victory revolver in beautiful condition and I thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you Captain, you taught us all an amazing skill. I would have never realized this could be done with just a re-tooled screwdriver.
Boy. I have learned a bunch of good tips watching your video, It's great. Thank You for caring enough to post this instruction!
Hi Gunblue, Much appreciate the tutorials about revolvers. I have watched all your revolver videos including your handloading videos. plus many others. I am a 38 / 357 revolver fan and figured out how to disassemble with your prior video shown with the S&W 45 Long Colt, and whether or not to buy a new Model 19 which I did, including 686 4" & 6", 586 4", 27 6.5", 627 for USPSA and Steel plus the new 3", 4" and 6" Colt Pythons. My Uncle was a retired Des Moines Police Officer and imagine you and he are similar in age. He gave me his service revolver 19-3 which I still have, had it repaired twice by Smith & Wesson for end shake and gas seal on the cylinder. I no longer shoot full house 357 with that gun - it runs fine on 38 Spl. The new guns get the 357. We were bow hunting and fishing buddies since I was a child until he passed. Anyway, your voice and vernacular reminds me of him.
1. Will you please show more tutorials how to repair commons problems for S&W revolvers i.e, sear, hand, proper end shake corrections, etc. I know you've commented that you cannot, but learning from a trained armorer would be most valued. The only other reputable source I can find is the Kuhnhausen Shop Manual.
2. Can you show correct methods for smoothing out the trigger pull weight that will not decrease reliability for S&W revolvers?
3. Anything you can teach about Colt Revolvers - Pythons?
4. Anything to teach for more accurate handloads for 38 Spl / 357 for plated, cast, jacketed, coated bullets for hunting and competition use?
...just the information on the screwdriver was worth the price of admission...
I’m 24 years old and I had the honor of inheriting my great grandfathers S&W Model 13-1, produced late 1976-1977. It’s become my favorite revolver to shoot and carry! Thank you for your straightforward and informative video sir. I know how to clean Beretta 92s and Glocks, but revolvers are relatively new to me still. Happy shooting brother🤘🏻.
That's how I learned the correct way to disassemble and reassemble any Smith & Wesson revolver
Thank you VERY much for the exalent tutorial! The Victory model that I inherited from my father, was a "Leand-Lease" gun, that left the factory in .38 S&W, and was sent to England, converted by the firm of "Cogswell & Harrison" to .38 Special, and apparently sent back to the R. C. M. P. My father bought it at a local gun shop, in our home town, when he took a part-time job as a night watchman, in the '60s. It has the 3 inch barrel, is still a good shooter!
I know I'm late but I have the same gun you have and was wondering how it got like it is. 3in barrel and rechamberd in 38.special.The sight has been reshaped but it shoots to point of aim with all ammo but the strange thing is that it has virtually no wear mechanically.
Recently my model 10 trigger is extremely stiff, I have to open it to see what's going on inside. Your video is so helpful!
That simplified that so much for me
Thank you very much for this video. How simple you make it seem.
Thank you Sir for teaching this! Now I can clean this revolver correctly.
If I had a Smith and Wesson, I would try this out. Had a relative bring me a Taurus .22 revolver to get working, and opened up the frame, and there was a hard gunk in there, that was binding it all up. Got it cleaned up and lubricated, and the difference was amazing. I don't think it ever worked that well for them before. I always seem to find that there are always special tools that you have to keep on hand for all sorts of items to get things assembled and disassembled with less trouble.
Thank you sir. Wheel guns are a lost art. You give us handy folks the ability to maintain the tools we use and love.
Between you and Jerry Kuhnhausen's S&W books I've learned a LOT, Thank you!
Fascinating to watch a master at work. Thank you!
Great information, love your channel, God bless.
Thank you GunBlue for this detailed video. I feel much more confident about disassembling my revolvers after viewing it and I will take great care, as you instruct, in the process. Many thanks.
Thanks for the video, great to see how the factory teaches it.
Very helpful vid. Been reluctant to disassemble my model 19.
Glad I found this. I just picked up a 32-20 1905 4th change that has a lot of the bluing gone that I'm thinking of rebluing.
Thank you for the great information. Loved it.
Always informative and entertaining too! Thanks again for making the effort and sharing.
Awesome video!
I wish that I had found this BEFORE I opened mine up. Now I understand the error of my ways.
Got my 1917 back together using this, thank you so much, that trigger return spring is a doozy
Fantastic. Thank you sir.
Thank you uncle. greetings from Turkey
Well that was 24 minutes well spent. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Wow, I have the first video from a few years ago and I love it. So cool. I have a lot of S&W revolvers
Thanks a lot. I've only done one, a five screw from 1947. For unknown reasons I had to reassemble it four times before the hammer would fall freely with all the screws snugged down. Now it works great, but I still don't know what went wrong the first three times.
Awsome video. Wasn't looking for this but it was very helpful. I have some old s&w revolvers from my dad that I would guess have never been apart, and cleaned / oiled inside.
As an owner of 2 Victory revolvers and a Model 19-3 Combat Magnum, the vid's you've posted are treasure beyond measure. Thank you very, very much.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the video. Sold off all my S&Ws, but this works for Taurus and Rossi, probably others. Some nice tips.
colorado school of trades offered an armorers course through Smith and Wesson when i went about a decade and a half ago. wish i coulda afforded it, but our design and function class on it was pretty comprehensive on it's own. appreciate the video, it's a great refresher!
I really have enjoyed your videos especially the wheel gun videos and I've never cared for them until recently. I've owned 1 S&W Model 36? snub nose that I didn't care a lot for,I've always liked autos especially the 1911. I recently acquired 3 S&W 's a lemon squeezer or 38 short hammerless,a model 17 and a model 28 in 357. The hammerless is in great condition the other 2 need work and your videos have helped with that.. thanks again..
I'm thinking about cooking baked beans!
Thank you very much, for taking the time, to share your knowledge and teach others
I ran into Mike today at Tractor Supply, he said he'd bought a nice private collection of antique firearms.
Fascinating. I have never tried dissemble my 1979 vintage model 66 or my 5 year old 642 air weight. Both need a good cleaning. Thank you
Thanks for passing on part of the craft!
great info!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Nicely done, Sir!

Sir thanks for the tutorial, but I will never take my Smith & Wesson apart like you I be to chicken might not be able to put back all parts in their rightful place much respect to you you have a gift
I'm not rich, but I'm sending my 5 dollar lunch money for that video. I actually learned something.
Thank you, sir.
Great video, thanks for sharing
excellent video, thank you!
Thank you sir very informative 👍
Very good Information!
Thank you for this video, just recently bought a police issue model 15-3, knew the guts were going to be dirty, but didn’t have the courage to take her apart for a deep cleaning.
Outstanding!!!
Great vid.. Either way. I learned by tearing the first two to scrap metal. Proto.
Haven't heard that line in a while.
Very well done sir! Subscribed.
Best way I've seen ❤
Many competent civilian Smith and Wesson gunsmiths are around. Only the Police and Military learned the special techniques from Smith and Wesson. Keep a cold one near you while cleaning your weapon!
Excellent work. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to replace the hand on my Model 10-5, the timing is a bit too off for my liking. Then the cylinder stop if need be. Thanks again for the instruction. Cheers.
Great Video! Thank you very much. Just the way Archie used to do it at our PPC shoot in the late ‘60s…
Thank you for your video I have that exact pistol and have been terrified about taking it apart. Now I feel confident that I can clean it😊
Thank you
Thanks so much I have had a model 10 for ages but couldn't figure out how too get the trigger and hammer out.
Thanks a million!
Great video. Thanks
