Keep the 4" barrel.
Blast that baby down to virgin metal and look into some of the new types of finishes that could be applied. Don't just do a boring reblue. Have it parkerized and throw a night sight on the front. Do something cool. When it's done, finish the project with some nice leather for it.
I don't know what you paid but let's say you paid $225 for it. I have shoes that cost that much. Tear into it and don't look back.
The reason I say keep the 4" barrel is because the cost factor may go way up, for your project, if you start fooling with barrel work. Even if you do the work yourself....what if you goof it up? That could turn into a nightmare, really quick. Plus, I love the feel of the 4" models. They seem to stay planted, in a holster, better than the snubbies in that line-up.
