it's not a common topic that you'd find just anywhere. I thought we would take advantage of the opportunity. I know many who have gotten really lucky with online drop in cylinders and or lived with some minor sloppy tolerances. As long as it does not drag or spit lead too badly it's likely not to go noticed from your average shooter anyway.

If you want something really accurate it needs to have proper fitting and tight barrel cylinder gap. THAT's where gunsmiths earn their money.

Roy Huntington has some Youtube videos and articles where he is taking Ruger Wranglers that shoot 3" groups at 25 yds. (respectable offhand!) and with some gunsmithing by soothing actions, re-crowning barrels, throating barrel jobs, they shrink that to half (1.5" groups) which is great. It shows what the extra care of tuning and fitting can do.
