Didn't know whether to stick this in the other classifieds thread or here, so I'll try here.
Stopped in at Cabelas (Fort Worth) tonight and saw a Model 48 S&W converted to "short" 22 hornet. I'm not familiar enough with the 22 hornet to tell if its a short case or just deep seated bullets by looking. Comes with a chamber cast - tempted to head back tom. night with a case drawings and a calipers. Priced at $599, I'd guess 75% finish with decent CCH colors remaining on hammer and trigger. Centerfire conversion looks like it was done with a plug or sleeve in the firing pin hole, as the different metals are clearly delineated and doesnt look like any welding/refinishing was done at all. Not remarked, still marked 22 WMR. Trigger has that awesome feel that makes me wish S&W's fit my hands right. If you want more details, I drive by there every night.

I won't end up buying it. Too much other stuff going on, and S&W's are like skinny girls to me - they look good, but they feel wrong in my hands.

I cannot imagine that one cannot grip an S&W to fit ones hand. Have you tried?
