Cool cylinder gap on s7w 27-2

What is the specification for the s&w 27-2 for the cylinder gap? The question arises as there Is excess drag marks at the opposite end of the frame {area around the firing pin}. Is this data available from s&w?
I bought this gun recently and would like to correct any erred repair.
