I had a New Service that was a RCMP gun.

It had been .455 Webley and was converted to .45 Colt. It had a Numrich 7 1/2" barrel that had an "egg" in the middle of it from where a bullet had stopped midway in the bore and was fired out of it.

I cut the barrel off behind the bulge and made a 3 1/4 snubby out of it. The huge grip gave me problems and eventually I cut it apart and reassembled it to S&W K-frame grip dimensions. Made it a lot easier to handle.

While it was a snubby sixgun, it was still quite a bit larger than a 4" Model 10 S&W.

I put a set of ivory stocks on it and gave it to Paco Kelly.
