Tempted by a Schofield ...

[CountryGent]

Alrighty then ... in a holding pattern between the machine-gun project and the 10-gauge SxS fix. And I cast gauze at other wacky adventures. A blued Schofield, in .38, seems quite neat-o. This factory new one can one can be had for just under a G.

What say you?

Meh, not my thing. Unique though.

These are pretty cool old guns. There was a time I was contemplating one in 45.
It would be fun to play with one for a while.

I've always loved the look of the S&W Model 3; it's on the List for sure...

I've always had a bizarre-o interest in top-break revolvers.

Dooooo it......

This is Northwest Firearms, not Northwest Dave Ramsey's, would you expect a financially prudent response?

 

[rurallife]

What say I? If you're talking 44-40 ....

 

[User 1234]

Teacher Smurf told me that every real man has at least one Schofield.

Or maybe I made that up?

 

[oldgrappler]

I have one in .38 special - it is a lot of fun to shoot.

Some of these replica Schofield and/or Russian revolvers are extremely accurate, as well as extremely pleasant to shoot.

Even if a person doesn't end up owning one, he owes it to himself to seek out a buddy that has one, just to experience the ultimate pleasure of shooting it.

I'd be a lot more interested if my pops didn't collect webleys and I could shoot revolvers worth a snot... awesome lookin' pistol tho, definitely something worth admiring.

The front site is very hard to see. Tapering ^ to sharp point. Makes for precision shot placement if you have young eyes.

 

[No_Regerts]

They are much faster to reload than an 1873....but I still prefer the Colt.

I have been wanting one in .45 Colt but haven't found one yet! Would be a pretty slick piece! Another would be the Smith&Wesson Model 44 or the Russian equivalent, or even better, a Webly Greener (Model 31?)! Any would be a hoot to have!

I always thought these things were cool as shiite

Also, very expensive for a BP, slightly less $$ than the cartridge Schofield (Taylor's & Company).

Even better would be the Lemat Carbine, talk about Rare and super cool!
I have a parts gun Carbine I found in a curio shop, they thought it was a stage prop or something, had no idea it was a real gun!

Not mine!

That's b!tchin'!
I was quite enamored of the Colt Lightening (aka: birdhead) grip profile until I bought one and shot it... a Uberti-madeThunderer from Cimarron Arms.
It's tough to hold onto with factory (non CAS) loads but it's so pretty that I can't get rid of it. I think some checkered grips as shown on the Webley-Greene auction revolver would help

 

[Ura-Ki]

I have always had issues with the thin "Birds Head" grip of many of those early revolvers, finding the heavier Colt and Remington pattern seem to fit the best!
Still, they are really attractive when done nice!
