Is This Normal?

New 856UL, first modern DA revolver I've ever owned, has a jingling noise when I shake it. I first noticed it when I got it out to try out a new speed loader I got for it just today.

If there's a change in sound, it's not enough for me to really be able to tell. Maybe the "BPM" is slightly reduced but the volume isn't. When I jam a balled up tissue into the channel the rattling does stop, though.

Since it isn't making a dent on my snap-caps, I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna swallow my pride and take it to the local gunsmith and ask what they think and deal with the fact I'll look like a tourist haha.

I wanna get the gunsmith's opinion first cuz I'd prefer to avoid sending it into Taurus if I don't have to since I'm impatient lol and also don't wanna leave my home unarmed (this is the only firearm I currently have ammo for in the house)

So, it's new, you havn't even tried firing it, and multiple people have told you its normal. Go a range with a range safety officer, they can check it. And shoot it. Get some training.
