This video explains the significant cylinder gap found on certain Smith & Wesson revolvers, such as the 327, 627, and 625 models. The gap is a result of using frames designed for larger cartridges like the .44 Magnum with shorter cylinders for cartridges like .357 Magnum or .45 ACP. This design choice is driven by manufacturing cost and allows for shorter barrel shrouds on shorter barreled revolvers, contributing to weight savings and concealability without impacting reliability or performance.
