Okay, I’ll start. What do y’all think is the maximum acceptable cylinder gap in a centerfire revolver?i,m about to give up hope for this forum. Nobody ever talks about smith wesson revolvers. All the talk is about those old plastic throw pistols.
i heard .1 inches. but i just bought a new 686 plus and its gap is 0 inches. Had to send it back. The cyclinder would bind once the gun heated up from shooting.Okay, I’ll start. What do y’all think is the maximum acceptable cylinder gap in a centerfire revolver?
A tenth of an inch is way too large. A suitable cyl - barrel gap is .007 to .014 of an inch, max. Smith & Wesson is not what they used to be, even the Performance Center products.i heard .1 inches. but i just bought a new 686 plus and its gap is 0 inches. Had to send it back.

if the forum is not for you. Unfortunately it can't be for everyone. But I looked at your posts on here and I don't see any indication you had any real interest in talking about Smith & Wesson. It looks like you started five threads, other than this one, on this forum. One was to introduce yourself, three were about ammunition, one was about getting old. One of the two other replies was about ammunition and the other was about getting old. In only one of your posts, before this one, did you mention anything about S&W. And in that post you mentioned you had a couple of S&W pistols.i,m about to give up hope for this forum. Nobody ever talks about smith wesson revolvers.

Yeah. I think i meant to write .01 inches. Now i think i am at .006 to .008. The paperwork that came back with the revolver said "repaired yoke". I had terrible endshake before.A tenth of an inch is way too large. A suitable cyl - barrel gap is .007 to .015". Smith & Wesson is not what they used to be, even the Performance Center products.

006 is Factory Spec for Dan Wesson Revolvers. I use the same shim when setting back a barrel in a S&W Revolver, not knowing their spec. It works.Okay, I’ll start. What do y’all think is the maximum acceptable cylinder gap in a centerfire revolver?
I love my 442. Wish more people made quality holsters for it!i,m about to give up hope for this forum. Nobody ever talks about smith wesson revolvers. All the talk is about those old plastic throw pistols.
Incognito Concealment makes an amazing holster for the 442/642. Trust me, I’ve tried them all… And this one (to me) is by far the best. I believe it’s called the T3. They also have top notch customer service and quick shipping. I highly recommend giving them a try.I love my 442. Wish more people made quality holsters for it!

May give them a try. I’ve been using the philster “city special” for many years and it’s perfect, unfortunately the new style city special he offers just doesn’t work for me. I have another jframe holster that I bought used from a BS member that’s also amazing it was made by “Geaux hard holsters” however my understanding is he no longer makes holsters.Incognito Concealment makes an amazing holster for the 442/642.
