I'm also considering welding a caster wheel to the front of the underlug so the muzzle won't drag on the ground when the gun is holstered. I've already solved the heavy front weight problem when shooting. I have 13 helium balloons roped to the front end to hold it up. Gawd, I love my 617!
I've been trying to buy an 8-3/8" version, but they are beyond my price range at the time. I'd put a Burris scope on it to match my 686 and 460XVR both also in 8-3/8".
