I've put about 200 rounds through my SW 627...everything from 125 grain .38 special to 180 grain leadcast .357 magnums.
As I've been cleaning the weapon, I've noticed what I believe is referred to as "flame cutting" where the cylinder meets the barrel face. It's hard to tell in the pic, but there are actually slight ridges forming on the barrel face.
With Performance Center revolvers...the gap between the cylinder and the barrel face is very tight...like the width of a hair TIGHT. I'm wondering if this is making the flame cutting worse?
In any case...she shoots great...but I'm worried about long-term wear. What do you guys think?
