Looking for pictures or a video on the extraction of shells on the sidewinder and also the removal of the conversion screw, changing cylinders. Thankyou

I haven't made a photo of it but I've seen it. Using the knurled pin release, with the cylinder swung out, press it towards the cylinder. It lifts the empties about 1/4". Point the muzzle up and some will probably fall out. If some remain, just pull them out.  

   

   I think it would be important to use a screwdriver that fits the screw head. (As in gun screwdrivers) Mine was fairly snug. If the screwdriver slips, it will mar the screw head. Swapping the cylinders is simple after the screw removal. It comes with an extra screw if you need it. It's packed in the box, under the foam, with the nice note from Sandy.

keep in mind you will probably have to rotate the two closest to the frame around to clear the grip.  This is the only downfall of this design that I see.
