It looks like you are releasing the trigger before the cylinder locks up. Then the hand I hitting the ratchet in the wrong spot. You are creating the problem.

it is the cartridge that, having the space, moves back and blocks the rotation cycle of the cylinder, this happens if the gun is pointed upwards and therefore gravity makes the cartridges move, but I wonder if it is normal that a s&w do this?

From the video it appears that you are using some sort of snap cap for the demonstration. Does the same thing happen with actual cartridges?

With the real cartidge seems better but moves the sames way and cause a little friction on the cycle(in the video are empty cartidge of course)

Why are you pointing it upward? Does this happen when it is pointed forward?

When the case head of the cartridge hits the recoil shiels, it should be pushed back into the cylinder. As the cylinder turns.
