Timing question model 60-15

[Erik-swf]

I'm relatively new to revolvers so I still have a lot of learning to do.
I have a new model 6-15 with only about 50 rounds throw it. I usually take my time squeezing the trigger, listening for the clicks from the cylinder stop and I have noticed that i get two clicks for four out of five chambers. For one of them the cylinder stop doesn't click in to place until the hammer falls. It's obviously hart to see exactly when but it's sometime in-between the hammers starts to fall and when it hits the firing pin. (I just checked when cocking the hammer, and the cylinder stop doesn't click in place unless I do it fast enough to give the cylinder some inertia.)

I'm used to single action autos so while getting use to double action, the cylinder stop clicks have been helpful to let me know that I have taken up enough trigger pull that what is left of the pull is more like what I'm used to.

So I have two questions. 1. should this be considered a timing problem that I should be concerned with? And 2. Am I approaching the double action trigger pull the wrong way.

Thanks in advance for any input.
Erik

What you should do is insert spent shells into the charge holes and try again. That is directly from s&w. If it still doesn't go a little earlier you can email s&w and they will more than likely send you a call tag. I'm plagued with this exact phenomenon on a LOT of s&w's because of me being a lefty. Us southpaws tend to pull the trigger to the left and it ever so slightly moves the pawl further away from the cylinder ratchets. Keep in mind that these guns I have timing issues with are perfectly fine for right handed shooters.

However I've sent guns to s&w and had them repaired under warranty or the same thing. I just made sure they knew it was for a left handed shooter. So it you're a righty and having this issue, I'm sure they'll take care of you.

One last thing, many people also claim that timing like yours is perfectly fine and if you pull the trigger a little faster it'll always lock in place before firing. In the end it's up to you what you decide.
