[The Mekon (John Briggs)]

I have an older style 9mm Nagler that has the dual barrel, ie 1 1/4" and 2" sizes. Frankly I find this a big pain in the neck to use as I cannot use it in my smaller visual backs (have lost the external lock screw) and on my reflector it will not come to focus in the 2" holder.

Am thinking of having the 2" skirt machined off so it is only a 1 1/4" size. Has anyone done this? I cannot think of any issues with doing this aside from affecting the resale value.

Then there is the other option of selling and buying a type 6 9mm. I reckon the old one is only worth $150 and a new 9mm is $400, so don't think this is worth it as the new 9mm is not that much better than the old.

any thoughts welcome
