I am stuck on having something that simply isn't made. I want a S&W 627 with the 2.625" barrel. And, I want the fluted cylinder. I think it would be cheaper and easier to buy a decent used 627 4" - since there are more of these around, and then pay a gunsmith to put the short barrel on the gun.
Are the short 2.625" barrels available from S&W? Does anyone have any idea (assuming barrels are available) how much it would cost (barrel included) to swap out for the shorter barrel?
The reason I want to go this rout rather than swap out cylinders is because I am concerned about timing issues, especially with an 8 round cylinder - is this just plain silly??
