Cool, I've considered grabbing one for a future project.

What is the length of the cylinder? Would you mind measuring it?

Thanks,

Sure. 1.594" Fits exactly like my SS cylinder.

Thanks! Looks like it's a bit too long for mine (by .058"). My gun is a 38 on a pre-mag frame, so it has a more traditionally 38 length cylinder.

Here's my current inventory. I'd like to add a vintage bodyguard.

Enjoying the lack of internal lock holes in this picture.

Nice selection! Details on the grips on the top left?

Those are from VZ Grips. Black Cherry color. Smooth texture, the older style that doesn't cover the backstrap. I think it is this item:

I’ve got a set of those on my 442-1 and I’m a huge fan.

I was never a great fan of the little 5-shooters, but at some point years ago came to realize they are actually very practical little guns. I've since accumulated a few in .38 and 9MM.
