custom shop told me at the Celebrity Handgun hunt that the belted magnums were stretching the frames and "suggested" we not build any more of them as they were destroying the frames. That was when TC stopped building them. I figured he knew what he was talking about so that was when we stopped building the belted magnums also. So it is probably good that you did get rid of it.
