Or

An old colt J frame modified as such.
Fitz Special revolvers were made by taking any standard size Colt revolver, shortening the barrel to two inches, shortening the ejector rod, bobbing the hammer spur, rounding the butt, and removing the front half of the trigger guard. Reshaping the hammer and the butt allows the gun to be drawn quickly with little risk of the weapon snagging on clothing. The halved trigger guard facilitates quick trigger acquisition, even for shooters with large fingers or gloves.

I'd find a gunsmith to convert a .38 to be able to fire 9mm. You know. To confuse people.

Fitz specials are cool. A friend of my Father's was a retired Louisiana State Patrol Sergeant amd had one in 32 long made by Fitz back in the day.

To have one made by the man himself would be amazing! I've seen a few modern day renditions with these guys I've done some training with. They refer to them as "La Chatas."
"Good enough" is a false idol. Beware those that preach its virtue.

I agree on the Bisley grip. The Colt plow handles never felt comfortable to me whereas the Bisley i can shoot all day

My Ruger 44 Special 4 5/8 Texas Grips Curly Maple.
I can't shoot it for anything. The grip just doesn't fit my hand and I've tried 4 different grips.

if you ever have a chance to get a Bisley in hand try it. It may be the answer for you. It is for me.

Can't afford to change it. I can shoot a Smith or a Taurus, or even a Colt DA fine. I wanted this one to work, but iI'm afraid it has to go.
