Yes. About a once a year opportunity. Who needs a mouse guns when you can have this great pocket carry automatic that actually fits in big ol mits like mine.
GLWS (I'd be calling you if I did not already have one. )
how vintage is vintage?
Have carried numerous times.
1971 S&W m37
1958 S&W M&P 2"
1958 S&W M39 (no-dash)
1940 Beretta 1935
1919 Colt m1903 pocket hammerless.
I don't know bout the others, but I'm pretty sure a 98 year old pistol is "vintage"
My nightstand weapon is a S&W 38/44 HD from 1949...
I am seriously considering getting rid of my old unmolested waffle-top 336. (I use my 1894 44mag to hunt deer now).
I believe it dates to 1950.

And while we are no English a reminder so you don't appear as ignorant as most:
Caps have bills. Hats have brims.
Very aggravating to go shopping for a hat and be shown a bunch of piddlin' caps.
Cool. Makes sense. I was suspecting it might have been an original 4" 29 but the model number was miss marked as 58. But the time-frameand finish differences point to conversion.
Sorry for the side track. GLWT.
Not all cartridge conversions have/had the seating lever removed, in case you wanted to swap the BP cylinder back in. So the cartridges can be explained.
Where the real failure is the shot of loading of 6 at once since it has a gate (as seen in earlier shot), not a break top or hand ejector.
Respectfully; How do you know it was converted? I am asking because miss-marked S&W model numbers are not that rare.
However it is close to the time period when many conversions were done. After 1971 SO many people wanted a 44 magnum that the smiths were kept busy with conversions.
Why then...
I was cleaning out the garage last year and found two. I kept one for remembrance.
The best thing about them is that they stayed in, not dumping oil all over.
Last week I was browsing in a north-Georgia "Antique" store and they wanted $30 for slightly earlier version of this:
