First, read this article if you haven't already.

Would it be possible for a gunsmith such as Hamilton Bowen to fit an unfluted, 5 shot cylinder to a GP-100 and effectively chamber it in .353 Casull? Is the GP-100's frame strong enough? Is it as strong as the Freedom Arms single action? If not, how close to .353 Casull performance could one come with such a cylinder in a GP-100? Would a blued steel GP-100 offer any advantage in strength over the stainless steel version?
What do you think?
P.S. I've thought of a .357 Redhawk, but it's not what I'm looking for. Too large.
