Understood Bill and I agree. I had originally asked the question about the 2 1/4 and 2 1/2 frame sizes that Austin had written about in his articles about gun weights. I know about pin separation quite well but was measuring other dimensions to see if there were any variations from those in The Parker Story. Austin had said there were very tiny, almost insignificant, fractional variations and I simply wanted to know if MY guns would show these tiny variations... and they did.
