Belly gun
Customer inherited a revolver. Uberti SAA copy. It had the ejector removed, the ejector boss on the frame was gone. The barrel was cut to maybe just under 2", and no front sight. All very well done. .45 C.
It had been "antiqued" by someone who knew what they were doing. One piece walnut grippyhandles.
Dwight inherited it from his late brother, and the brother acquired it at a 20th Century gun show. You now know as much as I do. It was shot with handloads of 25 gr 3F, and a felt over powder wad. Maybe it's accurate, maybe it's not.
Anyway, a very cool revolver.
