I am new to revolvers, so consider this a newby question.
I recently bought 2 Ruger revolvers... a GP100 and an SP101. The transfer bar on the GP100 fits snug and has very little movement and seems to work properly. The SP101 bar is loose. It rattles if you shake the gun and moves back and forward if the hammer is cocked. Seems to work properly, but I don't think it should be so loose. Both guns were purchased new and neither has been fired yet.
