I'm thinking of sending mine off to Mark Hartshorne for just that, RB and chop to 3 inch.
Having picked up a NYSP 681 makes my old one somewhat "expendable".

I prefer fixed sights and a round butt on a carry revolver. 581/681's have fixed sights and come only with square butts, usually with 4 inch barrels. I don't understand what they were thinking.

A 3" barrel round butt fixed sight no lock L-frame would be just right IMO. Seven holes in the cylinder a bonus.

My wife "stole" my 4 inch square butt 681 after I put Crimson Trace grips on it. It was okay since I prefer RB guns anyway. When someone tells me they're "looking for a little gun for my wife." I show them my wife's "little gun."

Now that's exactly what we're talking about. The blued gun sure is pretty, almost too nice for service. That in stainless IMO would be the perfect carry piece. Hello S&W, are you listening? Never mind, you'd just put one of those stupid locks on it and ruin the whole thing.

Thanks for the link ladder13. Can't wait to see your 681 when it's finished.

I've wanted a RB 681 for decades... but in 4". A friend had a RB 4" 10 or 13 HB that was a dream.
