Use a piece of garden hose.  If that won’t work for you then get a longer gun.
I’m either going to cartridge convert this stainless 5.5” I have. Or get a loading stand. Or both.

That is surely purely! Love the engraving for sure. Hope she shoots as good as my cutdown 51. Mine is just a blast [ yea I heard it too] .

I cut my pitta right there where the barrel begins. Think it might be 2.5 or 3 inch. No loading lever so I have a standard length rod and plunger that I screw into place to load, then unscrew it for shooting. Bout as fast as removing the barrel and loading the cylinder on a press.

Little short 51 36’s are such fun. I would post a photo of mine but it is packed deep in our moving crud. Sides do not desire to detract attention from such a beauty .that engraving is superb and count me as jealousy as well.

Please do report your range time with it. Looking forward to hearing your storie.

Congrats on another member of your family.
