Default model 629 cylinder rotation issue, help!!

I stripped my 629 44 mag, to clean and did some polishing. I thought i had everything back together. Is the hand that rotates the cylinder supposed to float? I can shake the gun and here it move, if i tilt gun with barrel pointing up the hand wont grab cylinder, if i rotate gun with barrel pointing down hand will then grab cylinder and rotate it. I triple checked everything both of the location pins on the hand are in the two holes in the trigger assembly. Im confused. thanks, alot.

On my older S&W's there is a small spring in the trigger that pushes the hand forward. You probably did not engage the spring when you reassembled the hand to the trigger. Look closely at the trigger and you will see the spring (assumming it hasn't gone missing). It needs to be pushed up to engage the pin on the hand when you assemble the hand to the trigger.

Check out the FAQ in the smithing section. I got a few pics that can help you out about the hand spring.
