I'm seeing a couple of #1S models with 20" barrels, on GB. .460 S&W and .475 Linebaugh, both with 20" barrels. Apparently my protests that 20" was too short, fell on deaf ears.

Maybe at least the value of the 22" .475's will drop a little, and I can find one of them. I know 20" is fine ballistically, but it really does not look right, IMO

Yup.

Not a fan of the RSIs really, but that would have been a better idea if they had to go short. I suppose the market target must be well-heeled Midwest stand-hunters.🙄

Yup, sounds like those folks stuck shooting straight-walled cartridges are the target. (pun intended )

Or collectors...
