There were several Fitz Special revolvers (or copies of them) in their own display cases. I asked the gent that owned the store what happened to those guns and who would mess up a gun like that? He laughed and told me they were customized that way. I don’t recall all that he said but for years it baffled me why anyone would “molest” a perfectly good gun that way.

That was a very sad little British Victory that wandered into my LGS. Original cylinder in .38 S&W had been drilled for .38 Special, the barrel chopped, former owner's SS number EP'd into the sideplate and so full of hard grease it took a bunch of work to clean it up. It was so rough, I just decided to Fitz it, it seems to be happier now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeaconKC Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Yup, it shoots pretty well even with the drilled cylinder. https://www.prvipartizan.com/search_h.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
