What brand pistol did you start with and what conversion cylinder?
Given the velocity limits and cost of ammunition I selected 45 acp. Similar performance and much reduced cost. I use the plated bullet ammo as it's soft as lead and tons of availability over lead only 45 ACP.
There are warnings of cracking forcing cones with jacketed but I'll be darned if I can find a single validation on the web. But, just to be safe....soft bullets...easy enough to hp or fp loaded plated ammo
Barrel length for me is usually 3.5 in or less....allows comfort while seated and neutral balance on these heavy chunks.

Either way it'll be fun to watch another build.
That was a perfect drop in fit. End shake, wobble, BC gap, carry up, all perfect out of the box.
Flutes look good on this one.
Loaded 5 and rang 5 steels at 10 yards. Front sight is very nicely visible. Rear needs opened.
