I guess I will have to go to SASS, and post the question.

Anyone have a link to their forum?

Thanks all

I'm back, I really don't know a lot about Colt double action revolvers except the cylinder turns the wrong way

. But it sounds like the cylinder may be a bit out of time. Check out the hand, the piece that engages the notches in the rear face of the cylinder to turn it as the revolver is cocked. If it is worn it won't bring the cylinder around quite far enough to line up with the forcing cone. Bring the revolver to full cock then see if the bolt falls when you turn it by hand to a line with the forcing cone. Hope that helps.

Posted my question over on SASS forum.

Either I am blind, or my thread was deleted.

So much for that resource!

I sent an SP-101 (bought in a pawn shop) back to Ruger. From dropping it off at FerdEx until it came to my door was 18 days. YMMV, of course, but I was impressed.
