I recently stumbled across this S&W model 28 barrel and grabbed it. The seller had sent it to Clearwater reboring and they rebored it to 41😊. Dang what an odd ball thing to do!😉 Now the hunt is on for a well worn finish model 28 or model 27 for a barrel swap and rechamber to 41 Special with a rounded gripframe.

Sounds like a fun project.

Other barrel was a 6" python that had been bored to 41. Jack Huntington bought it from me.

I saw that barrel on the S&W forum and immediately thought: "Robb will be along to buy this"  |

...any time one pursues something .41 it is a worthwhile venture...
Come to think of it...a good friend sent a 6.5" Model 27 barrel to them for reboring to .41... I believe he told me that he recently restored the gun to original and he was going to sell the barrel....

I keep thinking more & more about a .41 Special GP-100.

Can the GP be taken to .41 Mag or is there not enough meat/length in the cylinder. Now I'm thinking about a .41 Special K/L Frame...  |

From what I've read, .41Mag is do-able, but only as a 5-shot.
Zeus- that is gorgeous. Doubt I'd be able to swing a Python barrel, in addition to the pistol & the 'smithing, but I've always been a fan of the look & heft of the 6", full-lug GP.

Dang! Forgot about that one Zeus! It is good that the Ruger DA grip frame and I don't get along.

I was wondering how the barrel shank measurements compared between the model 28 and say a model 19?
