Am looking for info as to whether this ever occurred from the factory.
P. L. Shumaker (Colt's Variations Of The Old Model Pocket Pistol 1848 To 1872) shows on pg. 133 a cased 1949 Colt Pocket "round barreled" version (think Dragoon in .31 caliber).
.
I am thinking that is a spurious copy with the barrel turned down with a lathe.
Nevertheless, I think it is a beautiful version of what Colt could have produced.
If I have some extra money this Christmas, I might get a Uberti 1849 Pocket and employ my machinist neighbor to turn down the barrel on a lathe.
I might even get him to turn my somewhat junker ASM 1848 octagon barrel squareback TG into a mini Dragoon as a fantasy pistol once I get it to function properly.
Pipe dreams galore!
Jim
