Yup. Stark raving. A loon fer sure. Consider this.
What you describe is known as an Avenging Angel or a Snubbie. They are a real fun gun to play with. I have several sets and shoot em Gunfighter. The most common barrel length is 3 to 3 1/2 inches. It's fun to fit a front sight. This barrel length leaves the rack holes in the barrel ..... but ...... to use the loading lever, you will have to reassemble the ram and lever with the pivot screw, then load, then take the lever and ram apart to shoot.
With Snubbies, for CAS use, the way to go is with a cylinder loading stand. Pop out the wedge and the gun is apart. Wipe the cylinder face, barrel breach, reload the cylinder, push the wedge back in. It takes longer to type than it does to do.
