As to your lockup question, I test this with every revolver I consider. I do this extremely slowly and with empty chambers, because I don't want any inertia masking a problem. They all must lock up before the hammer starts to fall. If they don't, there's a problem either with the hand or the cylinder notches and I would never fire a gun with that issue. You'll get spitting lead at best and a blown forcing cone at worst.

Well maybe 50/50 getting a good one and they seem to be out there.
When mine comes back it had better be like the good ones I read about here or another new one will be shipped out.
I wonder if I have to return it for a new one if they could just send me a redeemable voucher to give to a local dealer.
That way I could visit several LGS and hand pick a good one.
