Mr.jackrabbit is right...you want a tightly fitting wedge. I used to keep mine to be removed with thumb pressure but found that it causes my aim to be off a bit and it really does make the gun "rattle" when its shot...we dont notice it but the gun goes through a whole lot of shock and vibration and if the gun barrel and frame arent tightly fit it makes the gun "rattle" hard for that split second which will cause the loosening and peening of the wedge, arbor wedge hole, barrel wedge hole etc. Loosens it up bad...and can affect your aim/precision. I noticed on one gun i kept at finger tight only that its aim was sporatic..tightened up the wedge to make the frame and barrel lock up tight and my group got smaller. Sometimes if the guns been shot with a loose wedge the wedge alot opens up a bit and you have to spot weld a small bit inside the arbors wedge slot...this will tighten up the wedges hold inside that slot. Sometimes it only yakes a few thousandth of an inch...sometimes a little more...but it makes for a great tight fit and can close up a cylinder gap if its an issue.
