The Schofield holds a special place in Old West history, and this engraved version from Taylors & Company does it justice. Major George Schofield reworked the Smith & Wesson top break design so a cavalry trooper could open it, dump all six empties, and reload with one hand while keeping the other on the reins. That same break open action is what makes this revolver so much fun on the range today. Pull the barrel latch back with your thumb, the action tips forward, and the ejector lifts every spent case at once. There is nothing else quite like it.
The big draw on this particular model is the engraving. The forged steel frame and blued surfaces carry scrollwork across the gun, set off by case hardened small parts and a two piece walnut grip. It looks like something that belongs in a display case, but it is a fully functional shooter chambered in .45 Long Colt with a six round cylinder. The 7 inch barrel gives you a proper cavalry length sight radius, with a blade front sight and a fixed rear notch built right into the barrel latch, same as the originals.
With nearly three pounds of steel out front, the long barrel soaks up recoil and settles nicely on target with standard pressure .45 Colt loads. The single action trigger and exposed hammer keep the manual of arms simple and period correct, which is exactly what cowboy action competitors and single action fans want. These guns saw use by names like Jesse James and Wild Bill Hickok, so there is real history behind the design you are holding.
Whether you are building out a Western collection, competing in cowboy action matches, or just want a revolver that turns heads every time the range bag opens, this engraved Schofield covers all three. Taylors & Company has built its reputation on quality Italian made reproductions, and this one shows why. It is the kind of gun that gets passed around and admired before anyone even loads it.
You pull the barrel latch back with your thumb and the barrel and cylinder tip forward on a hinge. As the action opens, the star ejector lifts all six cases out of the cylinder at once. It was designed so a cavalry soldier could reload with one hand, and it makes for quick, easy reloads at the range today.
Yes. Like the 1875 originals it reproduces, this is a single action design, so you cock the exposed hammer for each shot. The trigger pull is short and crisp as a result, which is part of what makes these old designs so pleasant to shoot.
Standard pressure .45 Long Colt loads are what this revolver is built for. Cowboy action loads are a natural fit and very soft shooting through the 7 inch barrel. Steer clear of hot loads meant for modern heavy frame revolvers, since the top break design should stick to standard pressure ammunition.
The scrollwork on this model is applied at the factory across the frame, barrel, and cylinder, giving it a full coverage decorated look over the blued steel. Combined with the case hardened parts and walnut grips, it has a presentation grade appearance while remaining a fully functional revolver you can shoot regularly.
