I have a colt cobra that I was cleaning and I pulled the hammer back while the cylinder was open,did I damage my gun in any way? I did all the function checks and it seems fine. I know this may seem like a stupid question but I feel like an idiot for doing this.

They were probably talking about dry firing the gun and firing the gun with an empty cylinder,not open cylinder,some revolvers have the firing pin attached to the hammer and some revolvers have an internal firing pin the hammer strikes when firing the gun,In the past It was passed around that dry firing a gun was bad for it

It could cause serious misfire problems endangering you and those around you:blink:...send it to me for extended (1-2 years) testing...for free!:yup:

Actually, I don't know why you think you've ruined anything.
