Webleymkv, right you are. In full lockup as you describe, the play is, not 100% eliminated, but considerably reduced. Thanks very much, very helpful indeed.
Even at full lockup, a slight amount of rotational play is normal for most DA revolvers including S&W, Ruger, Taurus, and Rossi. The primary exception to this is older Colts with the double-pawl lockup. These revolvers should have absolutely no perceptible rotational play when at full lockup. This type of lockup is sometimes referred to as the Colt "Bank Vault" lockup.
