I did cut it myself. I wanted a smokeless capable snub and didn’t want to do the deed to any of my nicer top breaks so I found that one already plenty rough on gunbroker. It works much better than it looks, in any case.
I haven’t chronographed it though in testing it has about the right effect on various targets to be right about where you would expect. Modern watered down smokeless ammo is probably in the upper 400fps area. The older Winchester Western loads in the nickel cases do better, and my handloads in the speed strip seem a little warmer still. I would guess both fall between 500 and 600 fps.
