its obviously a 4 3/4-inch barrel...I'm assuming that everyone knows that the first 4 3/4-inch factory job was a costum order for bat masterson...Colt still has the letter that Bat wrote to order it...I think the last time I saw a copy of it was in 'Guns & Ammo...some years ago...Bat said that he wanted the short barrel so he could draw easier while sitting at a poker table...he requested nickle finish so he wouldn't have to clean it so often...
