I put the feeler gauge to the cone/cyl gap today and wow... it was .014...

So as a newbie...what's the verdict? Should I still shoot this gun?

It is accurate but it really gets lots of powder burn residue on the cyl and I get a little in the face off every shot.

The gap is probably .013 easy. I have to play with it a bit to get the .014 to go.

It is a brass frame but I see no imprints on the back of the frame.

Thanks...
