Long time ago I decided I wanted to be able to sit in a pickup with my SBH on my belt.Just a regular 71/2 in new model.I cut it at about 5 in,just ahead of the rolled script.
Removed ejector housing,set it up in a mill with a vee block and faced and crowned it with a boring head.Re-established th dowel pin hole and soldered the front sight on with the equivalent of Brownell's Hi-force 44,the 800 deg F stuff.That was about 25 years ago,it is still there.

I much prefer the 5 in,and a few other folks who tried mine felt the same.

It is a hoot with 300 gr laser cast.

Beware,if the flux runs,it takes blue off. :-(
