I really thought I had mentioned it, but I see I didn't.
About 3/4" diameter and about half-inch thick, it's a square-shouldered grommet used with sheet metal for electrical applications. I buy one at my local hardware shop and adapted my designs around it.
The way this is installed -- the brass nut has been placed inside the oversized center hole while I was aligning the holes front and back -- the spacer doesn't really work as a roller. But if the hole were smaller, the grommet would simply rotate 'round the screw (and teenut barrel) with friction against the leather lining from the faces of the grommet.
As it is, the revolver 'seats' at holstering and unseats when drawn, in a barely perceptible way. So it's what it's actually doing, is applying a forward pressure for the revolver's top strap against the inside of the holster fold :-).
Looks quite like these:
