If you're worried about the barrel/cyl. gap, fire it while holding a sheet of white paper about a foot away from the gun on each side & see what it does to the paper. A few small specs are usually normal, but I'd be worried about any holes that you can see light through. If it's very much excessive people on either side of you at the range should notice.

Thanks for that suggestion, OldGunSmith. I'll try it next time I shoot.
