It'll probably be a single action revolver. On the right side of the pistol (as you look at it from behind), there'll be a small door which you can flip out to expose the chambers in the cylinder. After opening this, you'll pull the hammer back one or two notches - NOT all the way. This will allow the cylinder to spin freely. Rotate each chamber so it's lined up with the small door, then push back on the ejector rod to push the cartridge back and out of the chamber. Rotate through all the cylinders in the chamber, repeating this process with each one.
