I just measured my 4" 586 no dash and its .225 inches tall
The longer barrel uses a different height as I recall

Red Ramp but the total height should be the same ,
Just a ramp instead of a flat face otherwise it would change the point of impact.

No problem,
BTW looks like the 4" Model 19 is about the same height as well,
Makes sense as the barrel ribs are very similar.
