Barrel question

[HarleyXJGuy]

So I have a Mini and while looking at all the Ranger 2 threads came across some posts about Ricks Leather.

Goes without saying that after looking at his site and hearing all of you talk so highly of them I need one, or 4.

My question is about the barrel on my Mini. Bought it a while back and for the life of me can not remember which barrel length I have.

Is there and easy way to tell? I can measure but from what point?

Thanks.

Easiest is from front end of the cylinder to the muzzle.

If you have the std. mini and the cyl pin is flush with the muzzle it's 1 1/8"

Otherwise it's 1 5/8 "

Hope that helps

Yup. Revolver barrels are always measured from the end of the cylinder. Usually the frame covers the first part of the barrel, so you don't measure where the barrel leaves the frame.

It is also the way the ATF mandates it be measured. An auto is measured from the face of the slide, where the cartridge seats against it, which includes the chamber.

I guess the exception to this rule would be revolver pepperboxes, where the cylinder contains the barrels. In those cases, you measure the length of the cylinder and there is no additional barrel beyond the cylinder. Also, each of the barrels in the cylinder must be rifled. A pepperbox revolver can be thought of a single-shot with multiple selectable barrels.

Had not thought of those. Good point.

I can always count on you guys.

So a follow up question.

Is there a central Ricks Leather showoff thread? If not why isn't this a thing?

It would really be handy to have all pictures of Rock's holsters in one place.  Now the search option works fairly well.
