Is it feasible to do the following?
Take a Taurus 608 (blued or SS - doesn't matter), and chop the barrel to 2 inches and have it re-crowned with a new front sight installed. The reason I am thinking about this route is that a new S&W 327's are impossible to buy for under $1,000.
A new Taurus 608 will run right around $500. How much would a decent 'smith charge for something like the work described above?
Please Please Please don't turn this into a Taurus debate. I have had a boat load of Taurus revolvers through the years and never had issues so *I* am willing to bet my life on a Taurus revolver.
