From kcwheel we learned the chamber specifies as measured in his revolver. From Honda44, we are reminded of the similar 45 Cowboy Special.

Am I seeing it correctly, the the S&W Special is the length of the Cowboy Special plus the thickness of the rim? The CS is the length of the depth of the S&W Special chamber?

Somewhere in this thread, someone must have posted a case length for the S&W Special cartridge and I have missed it!

There was, at least for the M1906 cartridge. "Dimensions given in the drawing: Rim Diameter - 0.533"; Head Diameter - 0.473"; Neck Diameter - 0.473"; Bullet Diameter - 0.453"; Case Length - 0.923"; Overall Cartridge Length - 1.3".
