I have two extra cylinders and belt pouches for my Colt style .44 and I never really gave it much thought, but I was wondering which side to have upward while carrying them on my belt.
I do not have them capped if loaded and will not cap them until they are installed on the revolver, but I do have revolver nipple seals that I use now. Previously I would just carry them with no sealing upon the nipples at all.
I think that I carried them nipple side down previously, but now that I think about I probably should carry them nipple side up, with the chamber mouths facing down.
Cylinder pouch snap covers do not completely cover the cylinders so there are some open areas that the leather pouches do not cover.
