Needing advice on *&* model 60

I recently purchased a model 60 in .357 Magnum. I noticed yesterday that when the cylinder is swung out and fully loaded, one of the chambers will drag a bit on a piece of metal at the bottom of the cylinder window below the recoil shield. In fact, if you spin the cylinder lightly, fully loaded, it will click as it spins. It will even jam the cylinder a bit when I eject the empties if its lined up just right (or just wrong, I should say, I guess).

Is this normal or does it indicate that the cylinder on my gun is warped or irregular in some way? Should I be concerned?

Thank you for any advice!
 
My Airweight 442 does the same thing. When you eject the empties, sometimes the cylinder sticks up against the stop stud in a sort of "friction" fit. Customer service told me that it was perfectly normal, but it is a bit disconcerting. When it is not stuck in this fashion, though, there is no clicking or binding of any kind that you described. It doesn't matter if it is loaded, or not. Give them a call. VL
