FlatTop45, S&W used to be that way.
Prior to the their 2002 buy back (confiscation/theft), a mate of mine (MT) used to have a an uncommon model 629.
It had a 3" slim barrel profile, round butt made by S&W for a US distributor, who's name has now slipped from my memory. It was brutal to shoot with factory and similar hot loads but wow, what a cracker of a revolver.

G'Day Fella's,
I went for a Google and found that the above mentioned S&W M629 3" was a Lew Horton special.
My memory has obviously faded a bit, as the images of this revolver, has a standard/full weight barrel profile, and not the Mountain Gun profile I imagined.

Flat Top 45 and Ripp, yes fella's but what can we do about this?
Well, I believe the USA has made a great decision (how could it be any worse.....oh, thats right, it could have been Hitlery!), by electing Donald Trump! But mean while Down Under, we are stuck with a mob of gun grabbing UN STOOGES.
FJWH!
