Yesterday, I purchased a used GP100 (blued 4" model) with a few speedloaders for $440. It is a very old revolver; the guy told me he bought it in 1991. It looks fantastic, especially for its age. The cylinder locks up nice and tight as well. However, when I got it home I noticed that when the cylinder is open, it doesn't always free-spin clockwise. It has no issues turning the other way, but sometimes (not always) it will "hang up" when turning the other way. I don't know how big of an issue this really is, but I'm curious to see if any of you have experience with this. Thanks.
