This one is the later, short frame. My better '60 AE has the long frame, but it's in pretty good shape, with the 4 7/8" already. I want a little something different for this gun, which is a definite shooter. Yeah, for a barrel originally installed on a long frame, I'd have to shorten the breech, re-chamber, and re-establish the extractor notch, right?
The combination of 6", pencil profile, and short frame might be hard to come by. I was wondering if they were ever made this way.

Please don't include me in a posting with the words buyers remorse.

Oops, sorry, Ed. I'm glad you had good luck at the gun show and have another barrel. I'm not sure if it makes any difference, but, above, I said "sellers' remorse", which concept has been discussed on the forum. I've had it; others have admitted to it, as well. I'm about to have another dose of it soon, as I mail off one of the factory original cast front sights for an Erma Ep.22. which I sent for from Germany this summer.
