I knew that title would get some folks hahaha
I have recently acquired a Model 10-8, that has a few modifications ... a few ...
This was a prize gun, built by Fred Schmidt. #41 of #250 of his short cylinder guns (so I've read on PPC forums).
It has an Aristocrat three position rib, what appears to be a 6" pinned slab sided HEAVY barrel, DAO cut on the hammer, shortened cylinder, two extra ball locks on the crane (one to lock with cylinder in, hence "Triple Lock" hahaha, and one to lock the cylinder in place when it is opened), a smoothed and contoured trigger with an over travel stop, and a trigger that breaks at 5 lbs, and feels like it's on ball bearings.
And pics!
Pre Clean-up
And an old 81 issue of American Handgunner on Fred Schmidt revolvers.
There we go, hope y'all enjoyed the pics.
If y'all don't mind, is there any info you folks would care to share, I know a bit about the pistol, but I'd like to know a bit about the builder if possible.
