Apologies if this may have been asked before. A friend asked me about cylinder rotation (he is a Colt guy). DA cylinders rotate counter clockwise and SA rotate clockwise. Is there a reason for the difference?

Just the way they were designed. Some brands rotate right some left. There were a few theories as to which was better. But in reality it doesn’t make one bit of difference.
Colt clockwise, S&W counter. At least with Python and 686. Doesn’t have anything to do with SA or DA
