Intersting terminolgy among various makers. Rugerspeak, S&Wspeak and Coltspeak all call the same part by a different name. Why is that? Don't ask me! I like Coltspeak the best.
The hand/pawl turns the clyinder either clockwise or counter-clockwise.
The bolt/cylinder stop locks the clinder in place while the gun is being fired. The amount of play is not important unless the gun is not very accurate and they all have some play as they need it to function right. How much is too much depends on many factors. There are alway tolerances on handguns that give them leeway to work or not work. Without a gun in the hands of a pistolsmith, I don't know how you could tell what is acceptable and what is not. My theory is that they need to be tight when the hammer is back all the way.
