No, we aren't talking about semiautos, but the situation is the same, and it's not a problem. No one complains about being in the situation where they can't cut the barrel on a 5" 1911 to be 3" to have a custom 3" 1911. They'd simply sell their 5" and would buy a 1911 with a 3" barrel. S&W offers 2.75" and 4" Model 66 and 69, for example. I don't ever see the need or point of having to chop the barrel on a 4" when they offer a 2.75". I'd never chop the barrel on the 2.75". It's all a moot argument in this case. If I wanted a custom revolver candidate, I'd simply buy a different model that was better suited for it and would still purchase 2-piece models for revolvers that I never plan on modifying in that way.I think I answered those questions.
We're not talking about semi-autos, are we?
If every configuration and variation were available from manufacturers, custom gunsmiths wouldn't exist at all, would they?
Hmmm, I guess you have no idea what it takes to produce a custom one-piece DA barrel. It's a hell of a lot more than a $150 chop job.
Buy them disposable S&W's if you like, you're not gonna talk me into it.
You can buy one of the many S&W one peice barrels on the market and have it customized to fit the frame. Again, this is something 99.99% of millions of revolver owners don't care about and aren't ever going to do.
I still am not understanding how they are disposable? If the barrel or shroud is problematic, both can be repaired or replaced by S&W or a knowledgeable gunsmith with the right tools.
