people yank the slide back or on a revolver hold the hammer back and spin the cylinder. A revolver gets cocked hundreds of times over a 5 or 6 month period. Very seldom do they dry fire it as most gun people know not to (in most cases). But they all want to try the action for smoothness. They spin the cylinder to check the free wheeling. On a semi auto they work the slide to check and see if it is loaded and see how smooth the action is,and quite often try the trigger. That type of thing. Every weekend, 52 weeks a year we get out of state people in to look at the custom guns. Several of the guns in the showcase are my personal guns as I don't worry about them getting tiny scratches and such on them. They are hunting guns and using them as I do puts more wear and tear on them. Mainly if a gun has been in the showcase for 6 months and it is not one of my personal guns, I like to move it out at a decent price and replace it with another. Most of the time the folks that come in from out of state see the sale price on the sticker and buy them but a few end up on the Saturday Sale.
