How many have experienced cylinder binding ?

The point of contact was the cylinder star at the very top of the arc. A little dremel, a little emery cloth and all is good again.
Why 3rd cylinder? Heating due to rabid, er , um rapid fire. When it was cool, no problem. Only when it got hot did it bind.

As for cleaning. I do it as necessary in the field. Thoroughly when I get in for the night.

my python had a cylinder gap of slightly larger the .004" and it would shoot back to back matches (600 rounds of .38 wadcutters) without cleaning.

i would just run a stainless brush through the chambers and a dry patch through the bore
