With the DW .357 do you folks measure clearance with the spring behind the detent ball compressed?  In other words when pushing the cylinder rearward do you push it hard enough to press the ball back into the spring thus compressing it or just enough to make contact.    I have read a lot about how the design of the DW handles end shake well but cannot find any information on actually taking the measurement.

Would seem that every revolver would exhibit the exact same amount of rearward cylinder movement if enough pressure was put upon the detent ball to force it into the frame.

I have zero rearward movement unless I put enough pressure on the detent ball spring to compress it.  The screw holding the spring against the ball is set to be just flush with the frame.  Also have zero forward movement and a .006 B/C gap set to the tightest cylinder bore.

Going to order some Wolf Springs and wondering about getting some shims in the one order.

Actual revolver is a High Standard.
