Hi George,
First of all I have Asked the following question from Taurus,and I haven't recieved any information from them.
I Have a Model 431 .44spl 3" SS revolver. I was noticing that the OAL of the .44spl is 1.615 and maximum case length is 1.160
The .44 Mag OAL is 1.610 and case is 1.285
The question is can I replace the Cylinder with one that will accept .44mag rounds and if so would the frame handle it.
It is a large frame.
I do not want to machine the cylinder unless Taurus says that's O.K. I was just thinking about it while I was looking at some reload data. Seems like it should be able to be done there are a lot of short .44mags out there.
