Mr. Pettifogger has published an excellent piece of work, but I don't always agree with him on every point. This hole in the frame for the bolt head is one. My opinion is that side-to-side movement of the bolt is limited not by that hole but rather the fit of the trigger and bolt within the frame body. If the bolt and trigger fit properly within the frame that hole could be more than 0.010 oversize with no effect on cylinder rotational free play. That's not a criticism of Pettifogger, just an opinion.
You bring up a good point. Next time I take one of 58's apart I well take a closer look at that. The tight fit between the frame and bolt is just something I was taught when working with modern DA revolvers. The important part is that the bolt not move side to side.
