LCR cylinder lockup question

[les45]

I have a new Ruger LCR 38+P. When I close the cylinder, it spins past two or three notches before locking up on the bolt. It doesn't do it every time. Sometimes it locks on the first notch as soon as I close it but more often it spins past several notches before locking up. This doesn't seem to affect it during dry firing or actual shooting. Once it locks up it stays locked. I have never had a revolver that did this. Is there something wrong or is this a quirk of the LCR?

My LCR 22 does the same thing? So, I would guess it's normal for the LCR???

It's normal. ?????????

It's normal. ?????????

I'm not sure, but if two different calibers do it and the guns work fine?? I guess if someone wanted to call Ruger, then they would know for sure....

I own the .357 and .22 and they both will do this at times. I even think I can get some of my Smiths to do it. It happens!

Happens on my .357 LCR as well. I find that as long as I make sure that the front and rear catches are engaged, it doesn't take more than one click. I thought it was kind of awkward as well at first.
