Sometimes when I close the cylinder, the cylinder doesn't rotate on first trigger pull. Video demonstration. Is this normal behavior?
The chambers seem to be aligned, so I think the hammer is striking the current chamber before rotating on next trigger pull, which means the bullet will fire.
FYI, I haven't really tested this at the range, though I did experience some misfires (but I didn't check whether they were light primer strikes, no primer strikes, or something else).
UPDATE: Always read your gun's manual before using it for the first time. The first time I took it to the range, I did not clean or lubricate the gun and was using remanufactured ammo and had something like a 30% misfire rate!
I went home and checked the manual and learned that I needed to clean the gun of factory oil residue and lubricate it in five different specific areas. For one area, I had to remove the cylinder and lubricate the rod that rotates the cylinder. After doing that, the gun was slick and smooth. Then I took it to the range again and fired factory new Remington ammo and all 100 shots that I fired were successful!
Lesson learned.
