This is the second half of the Clements Hyphenated Cartridge Guns. Considerably different from its big brother.
6.5" Stainless in two tone matte and polished finish.
All the same basic features. Action Job,.002" barrel gap on both the primary and auxiliary 10mm Cylinders, Crescent Ejector Rod, #5 Keith Style Base Pin, Long Range Front Sight, Claro Walnut grips and such.
I did get Dave to add a High Polished SBH Flared Hammer too.
This gun has consistently shot 1" and under at 25 yards. Pushing the 200 grn GT Hollow Point at 1400 fps is easy. This load exceeds the Muzzle Energy of the old 44 Special Elmer Keith Loads.

Having a 40 S&W in a Blackhawk sized gun seemed wrong. This conversion just made sense. The gun was built strictly for Starline Brass.

Nice! Do both cylinders look the same? Both fluted? It looks like it is polished under the loading gate?

The 10mm Cylinder has been the shocker. Seating the 200 grn GT Hollow Point Bullets out for Revolver Only loads allows 1300 fps. Also, 220s at 1200 fps with Longshot Powder.
The very tight tolerances helps with this, no doubt.
