My SP101 is about two months old. I loaded cartridges individually or used speed strips and an HKS speedloader up until today when I first used an Safariland. As you know, the Safariland must be pressed into the cylinder to release the cartridges. I was having problems occasionally. Sometimes it felt like there was more "give" when I pushed in the speedloader than at other times. There was also an occasional hangup where the cylinder wouldn't close. Being slow, and the fact I don't look at the gun when I reload, I didn't see the connection for a while. The extra give was the cylinder moving forward about 1/4" on the pivot pin into the frame which forced the cylinder into the forcing cone when attempting to close the cylinder. It would pop back on its own eventually.
New gun. I know I can send it back but does anyone know what is wrong? The crane assemply is not supposed to pop out from the frame when pressure is applied. Easy fix? Thanks.
