open the cylinder, and it should be stamped there along with the serial number
If you mean a Smith & Wesson Model 629-1 revolver, it is stamped on the bottom of the grip frame. It will be covered by the grips. A secondary SN is usually stamped on the frame under the cylinder crane. Open the cylinder to see it.
Open the cylinder and look at the frame that is usually hidden by the crane. The serial number is stamped on the frame.
Most F&Ws that HAD a serial number had it stamped on the butt- and stamped on the rear of the cylinder. LEGALLY, the one on the butt is the serial number. Many older guns did not have serial numbers, especially lower cost guns.
7 letters and numbers on a modern revolver. Older guns could have fewer characters. The serial is usually stamped on the frame ahead of the cylinder, under the yolk when you open the cylinder. Any other numbers would usually be markings placed by the end user (military unit identification, police identification and such).
Usually stamped on the frame. Swing out the cylinder, and it's below where the barrel meets the frame. Usually starts with a"K", or "1K",etc. On older S&W revolvers, it was stamped on the butt of the gun.

From what I've learned on the Internet, the number on the butt is a government inventory control number. The serial number is stamped on the frame of the revolver; look for it after swinging out the cylinder.
Couple of possible reasons- your ammo is a different caliber than the revolver (22 Long Rifle will not fit in a .22 short revolver, nor will .22 Magnum fit in .22 LR) or the cylinder is partially blocked by fouling, rust, etc. Frankly, the RG revolvers are generally of very low quality, I would check the caliber of ammo, clean the cylinder well- and if that does not fix it, I would move on. Value of these is typically lower than an hour of gunsmith time.

When you release the catch and open the cylinder you should see the serial number in two places ,on the frame at the swivel & opposite it where the cylinder is attached to the frame. They should be the same number.
First of all describe the gun. Is it a revolver, or a shotgun? A revolver has a grip but so does a shotgun (actually a for end).
