Hello,
I picked up my first revolver about 9 months ago--a Rhino 40DS (4", chrome/silver/nickel finish).
I ran into what i think is a problem recently, but am not 100% sure...
I am able to rotate the cylinder counter-clockwise with little to no effort, whether the pistol is in double action or single action (after the hammer has been cocked). I don't know how other revolver cylinders rotate, but the Rhino "normally" advances clockwise.
I sent it back to Chiappa a few weeks ago for this (and a separate trigger problem), and it was returned to me today.
While the trigger problem was resolved, I can still rotate the cylinder counter-clockwise with my free hand.
This is a definite problem, right?
(I have tried to engage the firing pin while the cylinder and barrel weren't aligned exactly, and haven't been able to "force" engagement...........yet.)
Just looking for some reassurance that what i am asking Chiappa to fix is, in fact, a flaw/problem/defect.
While everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion, i am looking for info pertaining to this problem specifically...not Chiappa's quality in general.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this, and for the incredible information you have posted throughout these forums that i have read over the past several months,
John
