Model 1950 Target 45 ACP

StrawHat,

Iffn' you had put a black powder chamfer on the cylinder, you'd a had an early Mountain Gun! What year did you go to the armorer's school?

I modified a 1917 that someone had nickeled and had also gold plated the hammer, trigger, ejector rod and thumb release. I cut the barrel to 4", added a Ruger Blackhawk front sight and a S&W N frame adjustable rear sight and then round butted it. I carried it as a duty gun for about a year or so. IIRC, I did this in the late '80s.

Muley Gil,

I call it my Foothills Revolver! I was at Springfield in the mid 80s. Don't remember a lot of names but do recall the faces that went with them!

Like it. If I have had that I would not own my 25-9 and 625-3.

My Pre M-26 was chopped to 5". I bought it off GB several years ago.....
