Look at the hand, which side is it on?  It pushes up, and the cylinder will turn that direction.  If you want to shoot it, see if you can find a 38WCF (38-40) cylinder for it, it has the same bore size and the 38-40 is MUCH more available and reloadable ammo.

cylinder rotation

Another way to tell which way the cylinder rotates is to look at the locking notches on the cylinder.  The "finger nail" shaped dents point in the direction of rotation.
