"Locked up" is a general term, covering any cause that keeps the cylinder from rotating. So, let's be clear, are you saying that the S&W internal lock ACTIVATED ITSELF FROM RECOIL??

and what did you do after that?? Did unlocking the gun (using the key?) cure the problem? Did you try again, to see if it was just a one time fluke, or a regular thing???
