I had the rare 9 1/2" convertable stainless a while back, but sold it at the Reno show. This 9 1/2" stainless "Star", is NIB and I doubt I will ever shoot it, but the rarer blued gun is a shooter and boy, is it ever accurate. You would think someone at Davidsons would see the light for a new stainless single six with a 9 1/2" bbl. as they did with the 4 5/8"er. I would buy one to shoot. Big Larry
