Shall we resurrect the Belly Gun madness?
I picked up a beater Charter Arms Bulldog .44 yesterday, and decided it was much to bulky. It had giant Pachmayer grips, and that 3 inch barrel was a drag. The cylinder release was missing a part and not functioning well, so I took it off (Ray, you may remember the one I sold you having the same issue). Fortunately, Charter Arms cylinders can be opened by just pulling forward on the ejector rod, which now wears a brass threaded woodwork insert. The original was missing. While the Dremel was spinning, I went ahead and zipped 1/4" off the hammer spur. No front sight is not much of a problem, the trough in the frame makes a really good sight line on it's own.
