[QUOTE="farpoint, post: 4213195, member: 1637"] I traded for the British 1916 S&W 2nd edition Hand Ejector in .455 Webley earlier last yr. Quite excited when i found it. And it to also takes the Colt .45 cartridge. Took and fired three rounds through it at the river bank. At thirty yds accuracy was non existent. Thought at first it was maybe i was using a .451 dia. 225g lead RNFP. Afterwards i had the barrel mic'd. About the four inch space on thr barrel, it had been crushed. Somebody had smashed the barrel in a vice. To look at it you wouldnt see it. Decided against buying an expensive replacment and taking a more economical route. Ive sent it to a family member who is a decent smithie. He looked at it and suggested that we bob the barrel at the 3 1/4 mark. The paper thin original sight will be replaced with a Bradley mounted shotgun bead. I'll actually be able to see it. Cost.for the cutting tool and the bead together is under $40. Been wanting a short barrel .45 revolver for carry. It'll be more manageable than in its original 6 1/2 configuration. Keep you posted.... [/QUOTE]
