When buying the Meyers Pin gauges do you buy directly from Meyer?

Mine shoots lights out with .431 boolits. It is the most accurate 44 special I have ever owned.Attachment 216202

What kind of holster is that?

Yes. They have a $25 minimum order and ask them for 1st class mail if you have a small order.

I went to the Myer Gage sight yesterday. The single Z Minus pin gages were listed for $3.36/ea for the sizes commonly needed for checking cylinder throats.

You WILL want to order the gage pins in half thou increments. .001" increments is too coarse for accurately measuring throat diameters. Class Z minus is what you want.

Help me understand this. I think you are saying Order .4280, .4285, .4290, etc til I have all that I want. Is this right?

This is about right. Smaller ones are cheaper, larger ones are more. I'd rather buy directly from Meyer than MSC or Enco.

Yep, start with one that is below your smallest throat and work in half thou increments until you get above what you would want throats finished at. .429" to .434" should cover all 44 cylinders except 44-40.
