If you pull the DA straight through fast or thumb cock quickly momentum will spin a S&W cylinder into lock up if there is no drag on it. That if can not always be realized. Lead fouling or unburt powder in the flash gap or under the extractor can add drag as can not fully seating tight fitting cartridges, especially .22 LR cartridges.

More importantly, the cylinder is not spun into lock up by momentum if you hesitate to acquire a better aim just before DA let off. With some practice firing that way can be just as accurate as firing SA. The technique was used by most PPC competitors and many Bullseye competitors. For best results the hand has to push the cylinder all the way into lock up. Full carry up is of more value to me than excellent condition bluing.
