The one I am most interested in is the 45 Long Colt. This is supposed to be the same thing as an N Frame right? Is there any reason I couldn't simply swap the 45 ACP cylinder for a 45 LC? I suppose if the barrel is actually designed for the .45 ACP, being .451, that could cause problems. What do you guys say? It would be a great backup defensive sidearm for hunting. We have wild hogs and black bear in our woods.
Anyone have an extra Yoke stop pin and spring? Or know where to find them in stock?

These are too easy to make to hunt for one. Use the shank off of a numbered drill bit that slips easily into the hole in the yoke. Cut off 1/2" and dome one end. Use a Bick lighter spring cut in about half. Install pin with domed end out.
