BP versions of modern revolvers?

I couldn't find a copy of January's Target Sports but it sounds ideal. Better apply for that variation right away.

I tried one of these....the conversion cylinder has to be removed from the pistol and reloaded in a small press this makes it a real pain in the ar*e at the range having to take a press,primers and pre measured charges of powder, not to mention the look of horror from club officials as your stood on a firing point reloading with a press you can only use very small amounts of nitro powder around 3 grains so they are very light loads and it's £300 just for the cylinder
You can always buy a ruger old army ! designed from scratch an made in 1973 remember most "modern" revolver designs date from the 1950's or buy a Taurus LBR you don't notice the length after a while, Prior to the ban my favorite in my collection was my Smith & Wesson Mod 29 with an 8 3/8" barrel in 44 mag so we are only talking 3 1/2" for the Taurus.

Plus the length of the extension rod (12 inches or so):which could be a pro or con, depending on whether you want to look at it as a #######ization of a pistol, or as a handy brace for a pistol.

Personally, I'd like to own an LBR.

I had the "Coat Hanger" style arm brace taken off mine and replaced with a straight thin stainless rod (still legal length)that runs downwards at a slight angle with a small bob weight at the end which can be moved along the rod, so you can get the balance spot on to suit your own style looks much better than the original and cost me £60 to have done.

I own a Taurus .357 LBR and it doesn't feel like a pistol at all. I've been in contact with Alan Westlake since this thread started and he sent me a picture of his prototype and it does look very good. Like a proper revolver in fact.
