Only thing I'd add is that the BC gap specs on current S&W production means you can see new guns up to .010".

Great information! I knew part of the lock up check, but this explains a lot more. Have to go check my model 29 now, just for fun.

Thanks!

Mods, please make this a sticky

Bump this please!

Was looking for it, and remembered Leighton posted it, so I pulled it up and bookmarked it, but it should really be a sticky for everyone to find easier.
