if you cock too fast, it can over spin.
I did this to a set of old style vaquaros.
ruger will fix it.
take a look at the cylinder. see if you see a firing pin dent between cylinders. that will tell you for sure if you slipped off the hammer, (which I have done too) or if it is "firing" between cylinders due to over spin.
I had a quick draw smith fix it afte r ruger corrected it the first time, cause it happened again.
basically he put a stop at the bottom of the grip so you can't fully cock the gun if you do it slowly. and when I say slowly, I mean really slow. and not fully cock, is just barely. if you cock it at normal speed you would not notice.
the momentum finishes cocking. this prevents the whatever it is called that pushes on the cylinder to spin it, from pushing it past the lock.
