Why don't Ruger SA cylinders line up with the gate at the click?
I've just ordered a Vaquero.
I have owned .22 SAs before, but never a "real" one.
While standing around at my dealer, I picked up a nice EAA Bounty Hunter.
I noticed that the cylinder holes would line up with the loading gate when you heard the "click".
I think I've seen it explained before, but I am curious as to why Rugers don't do that.
Is it better for some reason for the holes not to line up?
Thanks for being patient with a beginning Cowboy.
