SP101 Transfer Bar

[H&KOwner]

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.

Loose is normal in my experience with Rugers going back 40+ years. If it works it works. Try it.

Loose as a goose is good.

Thanks for the replies. After posting here, I did a quick search and got lots of hits of similar questions and comments. Seems there are two issues...a rattling transfer bar and a rattling ejector rod. Some guns have one, some have the other, some have both and some have neither. But, they all go bang when they're supposed to.
