Who can make barrels for DA revolvers?

Do any gunsmiths do this? I prefer the idea of a fixed sight revolver but most of the ones that seem to be out there have 4" or smaller barrels, so prohib.

I'd really like something like a model 13 with half lug and 4.2" but I imagine that the profile would be quite difficult to replicate and therefore extremely expensive.

This has led me to think about old Colts like the Official Police since they don't have lugs so should be a fairly simple matter to have a barrel turned for them.

I emailed Murray Charlton but they say that nothing is available for a model 13 (or 10?) and that Colt barrels are very expensive. Am I missing something here?

I'm really surprised that no one has tackled this since there seems to be a fairly healthy supply of of cheap prohibs with a fairly small customer base.
 
I own a Colt Police Positive with a 4" barrel. I was able to source a replacement 5" barrel on ebay. Now I will be able to pass it along to my son.
