Not unless you're Texan, cuz then a six shooter is a six shooter and as long as it makes your point known that's all that matters.

That 'needless bit of reinforcing metal' is to ensure it's a MAN that's using this weapon. Anything less is a noodle-armed sissy unfit for duty.

That "M A N" is going to be needlessly tried by his heavy and unergonomic weapon, rendered shaky and unable to aim as well as he otherwise might. And killed! Or made to look ridiculous on the range! Pah

PAH SIR, PAH!
