I wouldn't cut up an old 1917 or New Service to make these guns. Ruger makes .44 Mag snubs on Redhawk and Super Redhawk frames. The action on the SRH Alaskan is much superior, IMO, to that of the newer Redhawk .44 snub, but both guns are along the lines of a Fitz.
Also Smith offers big bore .44 and .41 snubs as PC guns, I believe.
