I'm confused. If a sealed cylinder gap for revolvers means that more of the powder charge's gas can be directed to the bullet, rather than being wasted by leaking out the sides of the cylinder, why hasn't the sealed cylinder gap then become standard?

I hear some novice shooters get powder burns if they place a hand near the cylinder gap when firing. A sealed cylinder cap would likely eliminate this hazard.

The sealed gap makes rediculously long and heavy trigger pulls, the nagant has a 17-22 lb pull. Cylinders with a gap work pefectly.


Im wondering how that ots 38 works
