Not a Lew Horton or factory combination - it was put together in the wild. Never heard of a 4596, but I can certainly see where it would be good for a horizontal shoulder holster set-up. I put it together because I wanted something easier to handle than the standard 5" 4506 but retain the longer grip for my hands, plus I like the 8-round magazine instead of the 7.
