Hi John,
I believe they have straight ejector rods for exactly that purpose. I've only encountered two other 2" victories and they has straight rods as well. I don't recall if pre war M&P's with 2" barrels had straight rods.

This 2" victory went to Louisiana Dept of Corrections. The 2" colt commando is another tought gun to find. The WW2 colt detective special appears more frequently. I've come across several government purchase detective specials with the last one lettering to US Government counter-intelligence agency in Virgina.
