Thanks ahead of time!! I'm used to S&W where you loosen one screw on the left side of the frame and the cylinder and attached parts come free of the frame. How is this same job done to the likes of a DA Taurus 450 revolver. I ask ahead of time so I don't bugger up any screw heads......????

  First thing is to orient your gun. Pointing away from you (and completely empty), there's a "drivers' side" and the other side.
  The drivers' side has the cylinder release; the other side doesn't.
  Alright, first remove the screw the grips are held on with. There's a sideplate on the other side that needs to have its' screws removed before you can get into the innards. The frontmost screw helps hold the cylinder in place, as I recall, so once you've removed all 3 screws on the sideplate, GENTLY fiddle with the plate 'till it comes straight out and off-try not to pry or bend the plate.
  The whole thing should fall easily apart when you open the cylinder latch-watch for little parts.
  
  If you know it all; you must have been listening.WEAR EAR PROTECTION!
