Correct!
Chuck 100 yard is exactly right. It's an issue of alignment and "technique" when installing the cyl and especially sensitive on the single 10 because it has 10 teeth on the ratchet and they're very small.
The pin should not take any force to install and if it does, that's telling you the cyl is not square in the cyl window of the frame because the pawl is not meshing with the ratchet teeth.
Install the cyl w/o the pin and roll it clockwise as you feel with your left hand thumb and forefinger how it's matching up to the recoil shield at the back. It should feel flush on both sides if properly aligned. Listen for the pawl clicking properly as the cyl is rolled. Now it's aligned and you can start the oiled cyl pin into the front of the cyl. Roll the cyl as the pin is pushed in. If you feel resistance, stop pushing and adjust the cyl side to side at the back end while rolling it and listening for the clicks. Keep the cyl pin latch button pushed in while you push the pin in.
Once you use that technique the pin will finally slide all the way in easily. Wiggle the cyl a little as the pin tries to enter the rear hole in the frame. The edge of the hole is sharp and can be hard for the pin to start into it. Don't try to cock the gun until the cyl is rolling free with the pin all the way in. Now close the gate and cock the hammer, there won't be any binding.
Once you practice this, it'll be second nature and you don't have to modify the pawl.
Hope this helps,
