My roommate just bought a New Model Blackhawk in .30 Carbine, and it seems to have a cylinder latch problem. When the loading gate is closed, the cylinder rotates freely, and when the hammer is cocked it over-rotates and needs to be manually turned slightly counter-clockwise to line up. It looks like the cylinder latch is not popping up when the loading gate is closed. I don't know much about single-actions but that definitely doesn't seem right. He is planning to disassemble and clean it, but I wanted to see what everybody here thought.
