This is my factory new Model 610-3. When I was cleaning and inspecting it after picking it up, I locked and unlocked the lock to make sure it was fully disengaged. The lock flag shows when unlocked. It may have been that way before me doing that and I didn’t notice it. Should the flag be visible like this when unlocked?
This is only my second S&W with a lock, my other a 617, I don’t think has this flag. At least I don’t see one, I didn’t get the key to try it.
Also, when locking the hammer back it has a very notable resistance just prior to the hammer locking back. None of my other S&W revolvers do that??
