Thanks for the info John (I was hopeing you would chime in on this)
I've got a model 29-2 cylinder already ,now I need someone to do the work.
Any suggestions on a gunsmith ?
First choice for pistolsmithing would be someone local to you that is equipped and qualified to do the barrel and cylinder fitting. It is NOT simply a drop-in proposition. That will avoid the shipping charges and theft-in-transit possibility.
