I just purchased a Ruger Blackhawk in 41 magnum when I opened the loading gate and then closed it again I was able to index the cylinder is this normal?

Question

Hi Shaun, this is normal on both the BlackHawk and RedHawk Ruger revolvers. The "newer" models have a Patented transfer bar mechanism and loading gate interlock to provide an unparalleled measure of security against accidental discharge.
