1917 S&W barrel needed, maybe.

I found a Brazilian 1917 .45 at a show today for a very reasonable price. It was cheap because it has a bulge about a half inch in front of the frame. I'll shoot it first to see how well it does, but might be nice to have the option to replace. Anybody have one in a bin somewhere?
