I have a Model 625-6 Mountain Gun in 45 Colt. I have been wanting a revolver in 45 ACP for some time, but can't find exactly what I want. I had an idea of trying to either source a new cylinder or have the current one modified to fire 45 ACP. As I have never done anything like this I would like to ask opinions and pros and cons of doing this.
Also, I have heard the 625-6 MG was a limited run for Lew Horton and could be scarce and valuable. My gun is not NIB, but is in excellent condition and I have the box with it. If this gun is scarce or valuable it may not be a suitable candidate for a modification.
I have just never warmed up to 45Colt, but I like N frame revolvers. I have many 1911's and like the caliber. In fact my last issued weapon prior to retirement was a 1911.
Thanks in advance for your information and opinions.
