I don't care about the power...just all my hollow points are +p

This has been a pretty cool little history lesson for me btw, and I appreciate all the input. Sure, like anyone else, I appreciate a perfect specimen in all it's original glory...but the things people do to a gun over the decades to suite their personal needs, I also find pretty cool...as long as it works and looks OK. Inspecting, theorizing..every little change, nick, odd ping mark and scratch tells something about the history and what all it's been through. The old original barrel may have been wore out...maybe this change was for the good of "keeping-er going"? I guess I'd rather have a franken-snubbie than a wore out 4 incher that won't shoot straight.
