KevinGibson: You slow down the cylinder with your thumb as you thumb cock your Colt�s DA revolver. The test goes that if one or more chambers don�t drop into the cylinder bolt, then it�s out of time.
Kevin, when you say "drop into the cylinder bolt," do you mean "directly into the deepest part of the recess," or do you mean also onto the ramp that leads to the deepest recess? I've always assumed the ramp was also a reasonable place to drop.
