I was checking to see if the 44 and 744 Pistol Packs originally came with a 2.5 inch barrel.  I thought they only came with the 4, 6, and 8 inch barrels.  I wasn't for sure if a complete 44 Magnum Pistol Pack came with a 2.5 inch barrel.  I know that EWK makes a 2.5 inch barrel.

Yup, no 2.5 inch BA's from the factory for the large frame guns. However, both V10's and VH10's were available.

I have a factory 2.5 VH 44 mag on my 'movie gun'.  I've never seen one before this.

Is that the one Arnold sticks his finger in? Glad you got it, saw it let it slip through my fingers.

Yes it is.  I think that there is a mis-attribution to the movie Red Heat.  I picked up a copy and do not see a scene where Arnold puts his finger in any gun.   I do remember seeing a movie where somebody put a finger in a revolver barrel, but can't remember what movie it was.  The gun has a certificate of authenticity from the studio and the Stembridge collection, so I have no doubt it was a movie prop, but I think they had it attributed to the wrong movie.  I guess I'll just have to watch all the old '80's/90's action adventure movies to see where it shows up, something to do during this cold wintr, RESEARCH! wink

I think I read on the forum a long while back that 50 21/2" BA 's were made for the 44. I may be confused though.
