I had a friend who had one on a Government Model. It was pretty slick. One good thing was the lack of a grip safety and no hammer bite. It did make the handle too big for my hand. Also, as Cooper said, it is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

got one if you want it

Had one on a National Match that I purchased from a Wyo. Highway Patrolman. The hammer sits at half cock and on the presentation when the grip is depressed the hammer is activated and fires. It is almost impossible to get a good site picture while squeezing the grip with the palm of the hand. It has a lock out on a screw that goes thru the hammer spring housing, when pushed to the outside holds the grip down to be used in a normal manner. The officer said the advantage was in using a speed rock. (a presentation from the hip with the elbow locked for very close shots). After using a Competition timer with this device and the normal method of presentation from cocked and locked the times were not significantly different. When Ross Seyfreid made the beavertail what is today, they fell out of use. You probably have pictures, so I wont post any. Don't get one.

Just curious if anyone has any experience with these,

I've never heard of it before but read about it today in a copy of Pistolsmithing by George C. Nonte that I got out of the library, was only able to find the above link,

thanks
This was created by my grandfather, Clarence Alexander Raville, owner and lifelong gunsmith of Caraville Arms, was born on February 16, 1924, and passed away on April 3, 2008. The shop was shut down for a handful of years prior to his death.
