My revolver is singing ...

I watched an AGI video where the gunsmith slightly depressed the trigger, so as to release the lock on an older N-frame, and spinned the cylinder. It made a clicking noise - I gather from the hand dragging across the extractor - which he called "singing".

He made an issue from "right sing", "left sing", and "neutral sing" as related to hand adjustment.

I missed the significance. What does it mean?

Thanks all for the input.



Edit: I too am baffled: it's the AGI video "S&W Revolvers Technical Manual & Armorers Course" video.

  To me kit means that the gunsmith does not mind putting a ring around the cyl.

  My guess is he wants everyone to abuse their guns like he's doing so he can get more work [:D]

  The noise is the the hand clicking over the ratchet.
  No harm is done as long as the cylinder locking bolt is retracted while the cylinder is spinning.
  On an SAA Colt you can spin the cylinder with the hammer in the loading notch and hear the clicking.

  It also needs to click or sing at the right moment.. No before, or after, but just at the right moment when it falls, or it's out of timing..
