Can someone measure the cylinder length of their 357 Blackhawk for me. Not the overall length but the length of the body itself than contains the cartridges?

TIA, Rod.

FT BHs = 1.610"


Large frame New & Old models:

Thanks, Jim. Was looking for large frame, but the other info is appreciated.

Cheers, Rod.
