I have to preface this by saying that I've been mostly a Glock man for about twenty years and I've dropped them many times and never worried about it.
Revolvers I'm not that familiar with. An old timer told me years ago that if you ever drop a Colt revolver you need to have it checked out. I've never had anyone be able to tell me if that was sage advice or BS. So...
The other day I was carrying my S&W 642 in a padded Bagmaster discreet belt holster, and as I tried to clip it on my belt to unload the jeep that stupid metal belt clip decided to launch it into the air and onto the gravel in the driveway. The gun was zipped up inside the padded holster and didn't fly out, thank goodness.
Since I had just come from the range that day anyway, I decided that was as good a time as any to make sure I didn't hurt the gun. I went back to the range and it shot another fifteen rounds just fine. I also restrained the rattle in the cylinder and shook the gun gently to make sure nothing rattled. Nothing did.
So this thread is just for you SME's to reassure me or tell me to run to the gunsmith to have it checked out. :D
