"Beautiful used single action revolver with professionally made barrel reduction for fast drawing. This revolver belonged to a passionate, competitive cowboy shooter. "
• Beautiful is definitely in the eye of the beholder.
• Professesionally? Don't see a professional leaving the portion of the barrel warning. Takes very little to chop off a barrel and certainly not pro-level work needed.
• Fast drawing…hmmm, guess retaining the high front sight is part of that fast-draw package. :roll eyes: I'd think a low spur hammer would be part of any fast-draw model as well.
• Passionate, competitive…great but that doesn't equate to being anything else such as greatly regarded or successful. Those imitation black pear grips just scream "old west" too. :roll eyes:
Does list it being located in Vegas. Well, what is in Vegas should stay in Vegas in this case.

Ugly as home made sin, but is that frame brass? (I do not have any three screw. )

Might work with a birdshead grip and different sights.

Looks like a 3-screw brass framed fixer-upper.
Cowboy pimp gun???

Yep, three screw .357 Magnum, brass Super Blackhawk grip frame, what's not to like. But $425, you've got to be kidding!

I laughed until I saw that it was an old model. Then I died a little bit on the inside.

That said, I would give $100 or $200 for it and turn it into a real sheriffs model or 4.625" barrel, ditch the grips, fancy 'er up, etc. In .44 Special, of course (or, I always kinda wanted a .41 Special.)
But $425? Nope.
Somehow I get a disturbing mental image of Frank Zappa's "Willie the Pimp" carrying that in his jockstrap :shock:

If the grip frame is a MR-DB3 and I bet it is, the lowest price you are going to find one is $300. More likely $350. Three screw convertible parts $100.
But as I remarked earlier :x :x

Would that even be legal in Cowboy action shooting?
Yes, but only on Brokeback Mountain.Jimbo357mag said:

I couldn't see the photos last night so I was wondering how bad it was. Now I can see- truly hideous.
Besides the photography is bad, on the end of the barrel it looks like you can see hacksaw marks. Probably just pixelation though.

And it apparently sold for $462!!

Fast draw needs tall hammer i think. But maybe not adjustable sights.
Everyone's opinion of professional is different. Ha
