Love the new/old snubby, very cool conversion with the full lug barrel, nice catch. I just got my converted .41mag 28-2 back from Mark Hartshorne a couple of days ago. Great caliber for short barrels, plenty of whack without the sharp recoil you get with .357s. You've got yourself a great carry gun there.

I had one of Behlert's Bobcat 1911s and a chopped 25-2, of all the handguns that have passed through my hands those two are a couple of the few I miss.
