PS Regardless of your view on collectibility, pictures would be good... we like pictures!!
Well I'll have to agree. Another collector niche could be filled with these by different calibers (although usually just two, 22 and 38 Spl), but also by the different arms makers that converted them. Give me a firearm and I'll figure out a "need" to collect more than one of them!
