When Ruger went away from the "4 click" to the transfer bar, they seemed to lose the proper indexing when ejecting casings. At the "click", the ejection bar hits between cylinder chambers. This is a pet peeve of mine. As I see it, ALL Single Action revolvers should work in the proper way ["click" stop, free ejection rod travel].
Here's my Single Ten, gate down, stopped at the "click", pushing ejection Rod [hard to see, but it is against the cylinder].
Here's a "fix" I did to remedy this indexing issue. The yellow plastic part, that comes in the cylinder when new, was used by placing one of the rods between the hammer and the frame. When I did this, the indexing was as it should be.
I really wish that Ruger had placed a detent in the hammer that would hold the hammer back about ~ 1/4th of an inch to where indexing would be right.
