I purchased a Single 7 a while back in the .327 magnum and have sent it back to Ruger a couple of times to look it over and fix some things. After my most recent return I wanted to check the cylinder gap. I was kind of curious what it would be as when firing it I notice a lot of stuff blowing back and hitting me in the face and on my arms. So I pulled out my feeler gauge and this is what I found. On the seven cylinders the gap is .009 minimum and .012 maximum with four of them being .011, the other one being .010.
I went to the safe and pulled out one of my Colt SAAs just to compare. The gap on the cylinder on the Colt was .003 on all but one which was a tight .004. The question I ask myself after seeing the difference in the two guns is whether or not the Ruger exceeds what is considered reasonable and whether or not I should send it back or if that is why I pay extra for a Colt.
What do the rest of you revolver guys think? Is that range acceptable and normal for Ruger revolvers?
