First check that the mainspring has not been cut. More simply, just replace it with a new factory spring.

There is no reason to spin the cylinder while it is open unless you are trying to duplicate what you have seen in the movies. And, cartridge rims striking the frame lug under this situation is completely normal in most S&W revolvers, depending on caliber.
