[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 930311, member: 385"] S&W K and L frames can have a much nicer action than any N frame; it is just simple mass. The N frame is big and the cylinder is big. The N frame has a certain charm, but maybe lacks practicality. Back in the old days, a trick for the .45 ACP to reduce the cylinder mass was to cut back the front end of the cylinder and re-set the barrel backwards. Some games, like IDPA ESR, virtually require a 625. For those it must be a 4" barrel or less. Give me an L frame over an N frame for most purposes! If you want to play the ESR IDPA game or just enjoy N-frames, then keep it. 625's are scarce at times, so consider that. If you want a new 1911, you could peddle it. Then, before or after, talk to olyeller or USPSA guns about building you a "banger" exactly to suit your needs. [/QUOTE]
