Default Hypothetical- 28 to 25 conversion.

So I have been thinking... I'm a big fan of the .45 ACP, I load for it, and shoot it very much. I have a pair of 1911s and a 625-4 and a 25-2 but I don't have a .45 wheelgun suitable for carry. I've been thinking that the 28 is usually the cheapest N frame one can get their hands on and what I would like to do is rebarrel to 3 inches in .45 ACP. Also probably a round butt conversion for ease of carry.

Yes I have thought about getting a 325 NG or even a newer 625 but I just can't get past the hole and MIM parts etc.

Finding a Smith capable of doing the work is not a problem, I call mine Dad. I'm just wondering what everyone is thinking about the undertaking of this project gun.
