How interchangeable are cylinders within a given model of revolver? That is, if I have a Brand X Model Y revolver, should I be able to drop in a new cylinder made for Brand X Model Y in the same caliber? Or must they be "fitted" somehow?
To put it another way: I would expect to be able to drop in a Glock replacement barrel and get the same performance, whereas a 1911 barrel would need some minor fitting to be perfect. Where do revolver cylinders fit into this equation?
