Thanks to you all that have responded, I not sure if he even checked it properly, up to now he has only shot a 9mm pistol so this is his first real handgun and he has been obsessing about getting one for quite awhile. He freaked out and posted an almost incoherent post about the end shake. I...

Yes thank you, he said the forward measurement was .005 and .004 end shake so I assume that means .009 gap.

I believe he found the gap at .009 with the cylinder pushed all the way back and forward .005 giving the revolver a .004 endshake. I also thought the bearing moves it back making the cylinder gap wider by the thickness of the shim.

So if he fitted a .002 bearing he would have .002 end shake and a cylinder gap of .007 would that be a problem?

Hi, an internet friend just bought a 29-2 with a cylinder gap of .005 and .004 end shake. Is that acceptable and if not is it fixable with shim bearings? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Lobo is quite active on a leather working board that I subscribe to, he makes some very nice Threeperson holsters among other styles. He seems like a very nice guy.

I don't have a Smith in 45 but I have 2 single actions that I reload for. My black Hawk likes a 270 gr. swc with 6 grs. of red dot best. Since I got my BFR thats all I shoot in my Black Hawk.

I do all of my shooting out doors so I don't worry about it and OSHA and the EPA belong to Nixon not Johnson.

That Threeperson is beautiful, a perfect match to a K frame.

I used Unique years ago both hot and mild for the 44, but eventually settled on 2400 for hot and Unique for mild.

Thats a piece of art work, belongs in the Guggenheim. Or on my hip. By the way this is in responce to post #30.

I have been interested in the 696 for a while now, I picked up a Lew Horton 624 a couple of months ago and really like it, the only way I could like it more is if it were a 696, never understand why it's not feasible for Smith to make them. Charter and Taurus seems to be able to sell 44s.

I've had a few that fit the bill over the years but I think a couple of months ago I bought what will be my constant companion and thats a Lew Horton 624, the only thing wrong with it is that its a 624 and not a 24, blue steel looks better with ivory grips, as to leather I make my own and I am...

The owner of Freedom Arms made an appearance on Graybeard outdoors and gave the results of the tests they performed on 357 test barrels. Melted them. Its too bad because my BFR in 45 likes it the best of any powder I have used and the barrel gets real and I mean real hot after just a few rounds...

KSCowboy that load looks like quite the meat hammer, what kind of accuracy do you get with that at longer ranges like past 50 yards?
