The Taylors & Company Second Model Schofield delivers authentic 1870s break-action design with modern manufacturing precision. This single-action revolver combines historical accuracy with reliable performance for collectors and shooters who demand period-correct functionality.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional swing-out cylinder revolvers, the Schofield features a top-break action that automatically ejects spent cartridges when opened. The simultaneous ejection system clears all six chambers at once, enabling faster reloads than comparable single-action designs. This mechanism replicates the original Smith & Wesson patents that made the Schofield a favorite among cavalry units and frontier lawmen.
