In my experience guns are pretty tight and solid when handling them. Not 100% sure about old revolvers though. I think this is a fake sound added in. I find the same issue with modern handguns in movies. Many films have the gun make a sort of crunch/clicking sound just by pulling it up and aiming. Loaded guns especially don’t have loose parts.
