Made it out to the range this morning for the first time in months and this happens!
Eight rounds in something wasn't right. I opened the cylinder and tried to extract the moon clip and the whole thing just about came out.
Factory ammo too. Guess it's going back to S&W.
My new $200 surplus Beretta Model 81 went through 100 rounds without a single issue!
Fun little pistol.

If it is like the double action revolvers I've taken apart, I think there's just a pin that keeps that all in place, and it probably slipped out. Not anything inherently bad about the gun or design though.
Doctors for Sensible Gun Laws "first do no harm" - gun control LAWS lead to far more deaths than 'easy access' ever could.
I do believe there should be a little cylinder stop stud at the bottom rear corner of the cylinder window that stops the rearward movement of the cylinder.
Here is a pic of my 25-5 you an see it there.

Good catch Joe, my S&Ws have that too.
Will be interesting to see a close-up of that area on Jason's.
I happened to be close to my safe when reading this so I grabbed my 686. Indeed Joe is correct. There is a small raised piece on the frame that stops the cylinder.
It's there, just different than the old style. Apparently it's not thick enough to prevent the issue. I have other N frames, current mfg, that this doesn't happen with even with heavy loads.
This is a factory issue that needs to go back for repair, I've already contacted S&W and will be receiving a repair / return statement.
