I had a model 36 once where the frame lug was so proud that it would hang up the round at that chamber preventing ejection. I had to file it down and cold blue it.

One good way to prevent endshake, among other problems, is to resist the urge to flick the cylinder shut after spinning it. Always enjoyed the clicking sound the spinning makes in the movies, just like a Colt SAA.
"Flicking" it shut is the best way I know to spring a crane, and anyone who does this is demonstrating his absolute ignorance of gun handling.
What clicking sound do you refer to? If the cylinder is out and you spin it there should be no noise; it just spins.
The reason a SAA clicks is the hand is riding over the ratchet, but that doesn't happen on a swing-out when the cylinder is swung out.
Spinning the Cylinder on a SAA (Colt) is not recommended, nor swinging the Cylinder on a SW as noted in above Posts. I watched a fool do that to a Early Mdl 29 4 inch, snapped it shut and it became tight to turn the next firing cycle....go figure.
