I just examined all of my Colt or Colt style revolvers I have four in which the wedge extends beyond the surface of the barrel on the right hand side. On all of these revolvers (Euroarms, Pietta, Navy Arms and FIE) I can push the wedge out with my fingers. No tools needed. On two, (Centaure and Pietta) the wedge does not extend outside the barrel. Probably because the Pietta is new and the Centaure was just rehabbed.

I know that the situation changes over time with wear, (at least I assume it does because I never really paid attention) but that is my situation right now.
