So glad I found this video. Was wondering if it was just me and I was going crazy. Good to know that the firing pin will still engage on the live cartridge, but still it’s something that shouldn’t happen on a carry gun. Will definitely look into something new for edc. Many thanks!

Same thing happens to mine with the cylinder rotation. Also, after about 250 rounds it locked up solid and had to be sent in to S&W for repairs. At that point it was only a couple of months old. Doing some research on the web others have had this issue as well. Not very confident inspiring to say the least. Having said that at least one review said he had about 2k rounds through it over 5+yrs of ownership without any issues. I'd be curious to hear your impression once you've put a few hundred rounds through it. I do like several things about it though, the weight, the size the laser and the trigger after a few hundred rounds. Definitely upgrade to the hogue grips, it makes a huge difference in comfort. Keep us posted!

I fired a few rounds from it without any issues, but I just felt like I couldn't trust it so traded it off a while back. Thanks for watching!!

Yup, same here with the cylinder quirk. No problem if you're doing a NY reload, but with quick one round reload that might be a (big) issue.

Thanks for the video. So if I lock the cylinder counterclockwise every time, everything will be fine?

12:29 I'm noticing a problem with turning the cylinder counterclockwise, the cylinder release latch gets caught up halfway. It's as if the cylinder isn't correctly locked. However, when turning clockwise, the release latch does return to its full rest position. Does the whole rotating issue have more to do with what position the release latch is in?

Not from what I can tell, it's mostly due to how it indexes and locks in place. I've noticed that since I did this video that quite a few others have spotted this issue and pointed it out in videos. They all say it still "works" as it will fire on that round but it's definitely not designed to do this. Maybe S&W will comment or something at some point. Thanks for watching!!

Maybe it's because it's moving quickly, but I cannot see the firing pin move forward when you pull the trigger. Let us know if/how it shoots. I dont know why the cylinder would not rotate once the cylinder is locked into place. I wouldnt carry a revolver that I couldnt depend on to rotate regardless of how the cylinder was rotated when inserted. I just wouldnt be assured it would work. It's certainly an odd Duck from S&W

Agreed! Very odd duck for Smith. The firing pin is snapping forward and then retracting, I could only tell when I put my finger over the firing pin opening with a piece of paper, felt the sting and firing pin indentation in the paper. I'll keep yall posted once I fire it, Thanks for watching!!

Yep. I can’t figure it out and won’t know really if it’s an issue until I get to the range. Definitely weird.
