Revolver Barrel Length
measured from the forcing cone to the muzzle
Semi-Auto Barrel Length
Measured from rear of the Chamber to the muzzle.
So, I shoot a Full size 1911 5" Bbl.
& a S & W 625 5"Bbl.
the revolver has a full 5" of barrel rifllig
whereas the 1911 5" - 0.9" chamber
Note: Overall LEngth = 4" of barrel rifling
1911 5" O.A.L. 8.75"
S&W 625 JM 4" Bbl. O.A.L. 9.5"
S&W 625 5" Bbl. O.A.L. 10.5"
The revolver lloses somme pressure/velocity
due to the barrel to cylinder gap, so
is it 'fair' to compare the 19115" to a 625 5" Bbls
or should the revolver be a 4"'er?
perhaps somebody has some data via chronograph
Thoughts?
