    Throat Distance ?

    Does anyone know what a typical throat distance is? (The gap between cylinder and barrel). I went thru several revolvers I have, and they run from .002 to .012......Seems like a pretty big spread. Is it critical?

    Re: Throat Distance ?

    Here's a thread that mentions the specs a few times.

    Re: Throat Distance ?

    Just a correction in terminology ...

    The gap between the face of the cylinder and the rear of the barrel is called the Cylinder Gap.

    The Throat is the area from the rear face of the barrel to the start of the rifling in the barrel.

    The rear face of the barrel in a revolver is also called the breech.
