Is it possible to shorten a revolver barrel?
I have a Stainless Ruger SBE 44 mag with a 10 1/2 barrel and I'd like to know if it's possible fora gunsmith to shorten the barrel and re-attach the front sight?
Thanks!
Thanks!

It's possible to shorten the barrel. The front sight might be a problem, depending on how it's attached now. It might be easierto put on a new sight than to remove the old one intact and reapply it.

How about I do you a favor? You send me the pistol and I will send you a crisp, new $50 bill. You can then put that toward a different handgun.

Add 6 more of them, and we'll chat.

Pardon me, this might seem like a dumb question........why not trade it for one same model with a shorter barrel?
