Hi,
I am new here, and this is my first revolver (S&W Model 620). It's a 7-shot .357 magnum with a four-inch barrel; it has the new two-piece barrel.
I know next to nothing about gunsmithing, so please excuse my ignorance. I have heard that getting a recrown will usually improve accuracy.
Is it necessary to reduce barrel length in order to recrown?
Specifically, with regard to the two-piece barrel, will this reduce the length of the revolver to any noticeable degree?
I'm also wondering if recrowning will require gunsmithing on the shroud or the barrel insert or both.
I already got a nice leather holster for this one and prefer not to get another.
Thanks,
