can the dealer give you the wall thickness in the extended area?
it would make me nervous - but then, I tend to lean to over cautiousness with barrels - I generally figure there are enough examples of the common guns to be picky.
also - wood wise - if someone was pounding it with 3" magnums - I would look very closely for cracks from recoil
