if you mean a no 3 schofield design id want one of those for sure. they should do a no.2 design as well, complete with spur trigger and tip up feature.
I'd like to own a modern top break revolver in 45long colt, 44mag and in 357mag. I think there is room for a modern day copy of the old schofield with the auto ejector. Just something different to own and shoot.
A) Not sure why there is a need for a 12lb .22
B) Not sure why you would assume that a top break is something "customers" aren't familiar with.
C) Why let the marketing "gurus" dictate what "customers" are or aren't familiar with?
