Did the factory actually make a 4.5"? I know Elmer cut down one to that length and used it extensively, but I was unaware of and factory 4.5"rs.

It would be cool to see a pic if anyone has one. When I go to bed tonight I will thumb through some books such as "Sixguns" (the newer version with the 44 magnum chapter) or maybe some of John Taffins books.

BTW,

I shipped off my 8 and 3/8ths" M29-2 to SDM Fabricating to have it chopped to 5"s. Now the wait begins......

Here is a pic of my 29-2 6.5" just to make this thread better looking.
