    I'll bet you are right on with this hunch. Yes, there is a 'B' at the bottom of the right grip frame. Thanks for your insight - had not considered that this might be a PD revolver...makes me want to get a letter on it...

    .41 Special vs >.41 Mag Cowboy

    Hey Bob - Yes, the work appears to be very well done. The revolver is solid and was carefully executed. I'm not sure where the builder took the ejector rod from, but the end is not knurled, so was not original. By the way, I believe the frame to be an HD because the front and back straps are...

    Thanks Jeb - I will keep that in mind. I guess I used a poor term - I didn't mean that the build itself is an 'atrocity' - actually it was very well done. Just that such a modification of a classic S&W is not well thought of by many collectors. Mike.

    .41 Special vs >.41 Mag Cowboy

    Hello Forum - I have a S&W Pre-war 38/44 HD that was converted (not by me) to .41 caliber. The revolver's standard 38/44 HD cylinder has been bored to accommodate .41 Magnum length cartridges, and has been fitted with a S&W Model 57 barrel. Although I am (perhaps obviously) not inclined to use...

    Hey Scott - Thanks for the comment - actually, the work was well done - my reference was more to lament the conversion of such a classic revolver. Mike.
