The shroud around the extractor rod was developed during World War ! to keep mud out of the revolver action.
The shroud also serves to protect the extractor rod from damage that would put the revolver out of action by bending the rod and or damage the crane assembly.
The revolver is somewhat delicate, and although more versatile than the automatic in the ammunition it can handle and the repeat capability of firing, it is more subject to physical damage than other pistols.
