Looking at the foresight, this looks like it started life with a 6” barrel and it’s been cut down at some point.

Front sight welded (sorta) back on shortened barrel?

I agree Ed...

I think it's cut to take .45 in full moon clips too.

That is what i think also cylinder is cut or 45acp. got to have it check out as I do have 45 auto rim dies an brass

[Brit plumber]

I agree with your idea, if it’s cut for 45 auto load some to .455 spec and go shoot the crap out of it.
