It sucks to try to take a second shot and find my revolver locked up solidly.
If they lock up your cylinder check to see if the shot cup has backed out on the next round.
That's what I find, it's a simple matter of pushing it back in with your finger.
Some lots are bad about this yet others don't seem to have any problem.

The capsule backing out issue might be related to the rather dainty approach you must have in seating and crimping the capsule in self made cartridge. I imagine it is probably exacerbated in lightweight guns which I believe tend to test crimp more so than typical normal duty sized guns.

Not handloads dude factory. Not a problem of light guns, using K and N frame S&W's. I would hate to see how often it would happen in a Airweight

Never had that happen in any of my Smiths (442, M&P340, 60, 19, 696, 629), Rugers (SP101, GP100) or an old Charter Arms I used to have.
