My goal is to ...somehow... end up with something like the S&W Model 627 8-round revolver, except with 8 or 9 rounds of 327 magnum instead of 357 magnum.
Also, I currently have a S&W Model 48 22 Magnum. I love this gun, but really wish it had 7 or 8 rounds of 22 magnum instead of just 6. I realize this must be simplistic thinking, but it seems like somebody should be able to get hold of a virgin Model 48 cylinder, and drill 7 holes instead of the traditional six. There's plenty of room there, it seems to me. I assume the timing would have to be adjusted for the 7 rounds instead of 6. But, just seems like it should be do-able.
I'm wanting to stay with Double-Action, not SA.
I've called a number of custom shops, but haven't yet found anybody who does these specific things I'm looking for. Is there anybody who will essentially build an actual "custom revolver" where "custom" means the revolver is built to custom specs, and not just do cool upgrades to an existing gun?
Any suggestions?
