Fat finger. Sig P6. Single stack 9mm that was the forerunner of the P225.

Old School Cool. 1978 S&W 28-2 snubbed and converted to .44 spl possibly/probably by Jovino's Gunshop in NYC (it opened in 1911, was THE gun shop for l.e. in NYC). In the 70s they converted a few N frames, usually model 25s in .45acp or .45 Colt, in to these big bore snubs. S&W eventually saw the light and brought out the 24-3 3" snub through Lew Horton Distributing before making it a stock model (also in the 624 stainless gun). This one has all the signs of being out of this shop-the style of barrel work, the ball detent lock up in the yoke, the trimmed hammer i.e. It did have some issues but a quick visit to a shop I trust got it squared away, the action slicked up and now it will ride on my hip now and then though mostly be a fun range blaster.
I also have a pair of old style Pachmayr Compacs (no medallions) of the type these usually wore. The frame is rounded to K frame dimensions.
By the way for you movie buffs in the film "Serpico" that shop is where he went to buy his Browning Hi-Power when he felt things were going bad for him the PD.

SAWEET!
I now understand why you flipped the plastic .45
Nice snag.
ETA: PM me when you're ready to sell this one.
Doc, I really like that, cool the way the barrel shroud was rounded on the end. Does the barrel have 44 spec on it? Nice job with the blue on the barrel matching the satin finish of the standard 28’s.
