Carry up is the timing of the cylinder, 2 of the chambers stopped short of lock up when the gun was cocked in SA slowly. This is common in heavily used S&W's, under "normal" speed in SA and DA it's not an issue. I have a 67-1 that fails the "slow cocking" carryup test but the gun is fine when used normally.

I am a Ruger fanatic as well as a S&W fan, and I am also frustrated that I can't get a new .22 SP101 or an SR1911. I would be happy for now with a nice, solid used Single Six just to plink around with.
