Did they all have such snubby barrels? I'm used to seeing the MkIVs, or is it V...the .38-200

there were some made with longer 5" bbls but the standard in the no1 revolvers mkI-V was 4" , these are all 455s ,

you refer to the no2 mkIV revolvers in 380 [38 s&w] those were 5" bbls

the next two im going to photo and post are the end of the no1 revolver series , mkVI , they are still 455s but look like a large version of the no2 revolver you refer to and they have 6" bbls

pete , this is still a black powder revolver - they would require me to handload and im not there yet , this is cut for 45acp in moon clips but i think its far too dangerous , and i like my revolver as is
