Now that I know the barrel has been changed out. Is it possible the gun started life as a 5" and was changed to the 6.5" when the barrel was changed? The holster I have is just barely too short and was un-stitched so that the gun would fit.
If I got a letter from S&W would it tell me what the gun was originally (5" or 6") and what all was done to it in 1949?
