Mark Hartshorn (pinnacle-guns.com) did the work. I'm not sure if Mark is taking any major work at this time. Can't hurt to inquire, though. The Announcements area of his website states that no specific completion times can be given for full custom work, which makes me think you should be ok with being without your gun for a long time. Mine was gone for around a year, if I recall correctly. Mark's amazing beautiful work was worth the wait to me. But if timeliness is more important to you, that could be a decisive factor for you.

Doc.... I can't imagine why anyone would say it isn't practical to do this mod... for me it made the gun much more valuable and cherished. I don't recall the cost, but it wasn't outrageous (nor was it bargain basement either.) Just be sure whoever does the work that they are a very seasoned, professional specialist with revolvers. Mark is a member of the American Pistolsmith's Guild... an very honorable membership in an extremely select guild (the best of the best). But I'm sure there are a number of other superb revolver-smiths who can do work of this level for you.
