What is the barrel length of my gun?

How to measure your gun's barrel length


1.  Unload the Gun.
2.  Pull back the slide and cock the pistol, letting the slide close in the forward position.
3.  Insert a dowel rod of appropriate diameter down the barrel of the gun until it stops at the breech face.
4.  Mark the dowel rod at the muzzle end.
5. Remove the dowel rod and measure from the end of the rod to your mark.  This is the barrel length.


1.  Unload the gun.
2.  Pull back the slide and lock it open.
3.  Measure from the end of the barrel where the cartridge is inserted forward to the end of the muzzle, along the side of the barrel.  

1.  Unload the gun.  
2.  Insert a dowel rod of appropriate diameter into the muzzle end of the gun.  
3.  Slide the dowel rod into the barrel until it touches the face (front) of the revolver's cartridge cylinder.

What is my belt length?

 


A.  Your belt size is typically the same as your pant size plus 2 inches. 
B.  To verify place a cloth measure tape THROUGH (NOT around or over loops) the pant belt loops to get an accurate reading. Where the cloth tape crosses should be your belt size. Pull it as tight as you are going to wear it.
C.  The preferable method is to measure an old belt from the fold to the hole you are wearing it in now. This should be the middle hole if the belt fits properly.
