I think its cool! Though... Unless you are a really big person, I have to agree it would be hard to hide... Especially in summer.
It does bring up a question that has been bugging me...
Sometime in the future, I would LIKE make a belly gun out of either '51 or a '60. Would like to put the thunderer grips on it, and maybe have two barrel assemblies, one cut and one not. My question is, .44 or .36, or does it matter?
I know that barrel length is even more important in BP for velocity... I realize that the shorter the barrel, the less powder gets burned... So, reasoning that a .36 uses less powder to begin with, would using it help with more complete powder burn? Or is that just not the way it works?
I know its a little OT, sorry, not trying to hijack the thread, that question has just been bugging me for awhile now..
