I just received my 686+ from Smith and Wesson's custom shop. I bought the gun a month ago and had it sent right back to the factory for their custom action job. The gap between the forcing cone and the cylinder was supposed to be reset, presumably to a tighter tolerence than before. Now that I have the gun home, the gap seems pretty large. I can see a good bit of light between the two, and it is certainly larger than the gap on my Ruger Blackhawk.
Does anyone know how big the gap should be, how I could check for myself, and if Smith and Wesson's custom shop has such a solid reputation that I should just trust their work? Thanks in advance.
