Gene H. asked 7 years ago:
It is at or near the same diameter. The bolt circle of chambers is the same diameter so the outer chamber wall is the same thickness and the frame did not have to be changed to align the barrel. The webs between the chambers are thinner, but obviously strong enough to pass proof testing and regular use.

Gene, overall width no, the difference will be more visible in the "between the round hole" cylinder wall difference.
