Short Barreled Revolvers in 44

[Hondo44]

It's not a Smith & Wesson, but I couldn't resist the balance, finish and feel of this Ruger Sheriff model in .44 Special. I added a Mernickle high-ride holster and am waiting to hit the range!

You will not be dissappointed at the range!

Dave,
Very nice! By moving the front locking lug back, do you mean you separated the shroud from the barrel, moved it back and reattached it?

If that's correct would you mind telling us more about how that was done?

I want to rethread an N frame 44 barrel and mount it in an L frame.
I'll need to section the shroud to reduce the distance between
the barrel axis ctr line and the ejector rod axis ctr line.

Thanks,

Jim,

Oh, I just ground the front of the lug back to give
the barrel the appearance of added lenght...

The fitting of an N frame barrel to the L frame
sounds like a neat project, I've got an idee or two on that.

I'll have to look and see if I can find my notes on the dimensional difference of the two axis lines.

Just off'n the cuff here, I was thinking of modifying the locking bolt hole and opening up the shroud for
clearance of the ejector rod and use an off-set locking bolt.

I'll study on this for a bit...

Su Amigo,
Dave
