The Walker just looks funny.
Seems sort of counterproductive to make a concealable hideaway gun out of the largest/heaviest/most powerful handgun made until the 20th century. Or maybe it's just me. L@J

The Walker came to me that way.  I intended to bore the lug and replace it with a 9" piece of ACP barrel and make it a shooter.  But the more I handled it, the more I liked it.  Not a concealed piece or even a belt piece, just interesting.  And the barrel is right at 5" so not really a snub.  I believe the origianl owner said he saw a photo of an original like it, or maybe a Dragoon. 

The 1860 is one I cut down a long time ago.  The grips are made from an elk shed I found in Arizona.
