Well, for sure the model 40 (.357SM) has a .002 gauge from the factory. So far, I haven't owned a .375 that is NIB, so I can't give an affirmative yea/nay as to whether yours is original. Other members probably could.

However, setting your .375 gap at .002 isn't a bad thing.wink I set mine at that gap all the time.

I never shot my 375 so I never checked what the gauge was... But I agree with CF the 357SM's where suppose to be set to .002 to prevent flame cutting.

I only have one Super Mag with the factory gap gage, my 7445 and its .002.  I set all my other SMs to .002. 

Jody, you need to shoot that 375, its a real blast (pardon the pun), I really like mine and its a lot of fun just working up your own ammo.  Quite the conversation piece at the range as well.

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

When I discovered that my SuperMags all came with .002 gap gauges, I changed to setting all of my Dan's at .002 and I have never had a problem with any of them.

Enjoy your new gun.

This is interesting because all paperwork I have ever seen on the 375 stated to set it at .006.  If .002 works however, why not..

A man cannot have too many SuperMags
