So does this mean if you start getting sloppy lockup (cyl. can rotate some amount when hammer and trigger held back)...

Instead of holding both back, dry fire the gun and keep the trigger all the way to the rear. At this point (moment of ignition) my new S&W's exhibit almost no movement. You can detect
some movement -- just enough to see/feel a little motion -- but this is probably due to the inherent tolerances needed to let parts work smoothly. Luckily, even my old M31 shows this same trait - tight lockup with the trigger all the way back and the hammer down.
With the gun "at rest" the "play" is somewhat more pronounced.
