Somebody posted one in the classifieds a few months back that had been heavily modified. He had paid a famous gunsmith (Hamilton Bowen? I forget) to convert it to .45 Colt with a 5" barrel, keeping the fixed sights of course. What a great idea! It looked just like a Heavy Duty.
I would have loved to buy it, not for collector value, but just as a really unique shooter, but alas, the seller wanted to recoup pretty much his entire investment (over two grand). I can't blame him, but that is an awful lot to spend on any gun, let alone one with such limited collector interest.
