7445 endshake
« on: November 29, 2006, 07:31:24 AM »
My 7445 Norwich gun has about .005 back/forth play.  I only notice it because my 7360 has no endshalke at all.  Dan Wesson has told me that this is not excessive, but I find it bothersome.  They said that spacers are available to correct the problem.  I wonder is this a fix that I might accomplish (I know how to follow instructions).  I reckon the spacer is placed directly in front of the cylinder. 

On another note, after shooting both the 357 mag and 44 mag, I notice much more of a 'slap in the face' from the 357 than the 44.  Perhaps load pressures give rise to this.  Recoil is sure no issue with these two heavyweights!  I never noticed the cifference in concussion between the two typically because I must hike a good distance to practice, and I am loathe to carry both guns.

I have never done it, but it seems a spacer on the cylinder would not be too difficult of a job.  The trick might be finding a shim, but maybe someone like Brownells carries them.
