I haven't heard less than 2yrs quoted in a long time with most reporting something like 3yrs.

I guess I'm in the minority in that I don't like banded barrels on sixguns. Make mine a full charcoal blue .500 with a 4¾" (not 5/8") octagon barrel, post front sight, 50-75% coverage rose & scroll, case colored hammer/trigger and ivory.
