Anyone with an older Monson made Supermag if you could try this I would appreciate it.
The challenge is I was hoping someone could try on their older DW large frame to see if they duplicate what mine is doing. Hold the pistol with 2 hands and grasp the cylinder with your right hand (don't touch the hammer or trigger) and see if you can turn the cyllinder counter clock-wise (opposite direction of the normal cylinder spin) it should take a little force, it won't spin freely. It should spin to the next slot and stop. I'm hoping it isn't just a problem with mine. After examining the cylinder stop it appears it's designed to do this, since the slope of each slot tapers away from the stop when turning counter-clockwise. Please let me know.

You can do that if you apply enough force to over-ride the pawl spring tension--it doesn't prove anything. BTW, I have two older (Monson) 40's. The only reason you can do it with a 40 is because the pawl is offset in the frame--if it was centered like any other revolver, you wouldn't be able to do this without a ton of pressure.
It's designed to do this as you describe....PROVIDED YOU ARE PULLING THE TRIGGER TO DO IT.

You have 2 older Monson 40's? Lucky guy? Do you have the same type star extractor like the one I posted in an earlier topic? It appears you're able to pull the star right off on my model, there isn't a stop like I've seen on other models. thanks for the response!

I'm confused by that phrase, I'm actually able to duplicate what I described w/o pulling the trigger, are you too? I do agree with having the pawl centered in the frame...Rugers are like that and you cannot rotate the cylinder the opposite way. thanks!

yes, I can (fingers off hammer and trigger)-- you are just forcing it past the pawl. It's not designed to do that unless you are pulling the trigger -- but you can do it with enough force.
