I just examined my S&W 629 IOW the instructions, and it passed. I couldn't insert my credit card in the cylinder/bore gap.

I just got a Colt Python (1979 issue) for my 50th birthday. It passed every test. Thanks for this informative post (albeit a decade old).

Way more than a minute

since a regular reader stopped by to this thread and said thank you very much. Thanks to your tips Cabela's sold me a "defective" Colt 1893 army and navy for the princely sum of 29 dollars. I don't feel any guilt stealing the gun from a major retailer that should know better. Colt made that model initially W/O a cylinder locking bolt. In fact they continued to make the revolver both with and without the cylinder locking bolt for several years at least. The Colt letter cost lots more than the revolver, but it's worth a touch more than 29 bucks.
