Talk:Smith & Wesson Schofield

Wasn't there a double-action version of this made in the late 1880s? -Anonymous

Smith did come out with a break top double action in 1881 called the First Model Double Action or the New Model Navy, both in 44 Russian. A later version in 44-40 was called the Double Action Frontier--Ruzhyo 18:27, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

anyone know if any company makes a reproduction of the schofield?

Uberti

Does anybody make a reproduction of the Schofield without the weird curved grips? I like the grips of the Russian Model even if they are very small in my hands), but hate the way the trigger spur fells. I was going to get a Beretta Laramie, but could not find one with a decent barrel length (anything longer than 6 1/2 inches, but shorter than 11 inches is good for me).

big confusion

the gun used by Sam Elliott in Tombstone is NOT a Schofield , it is a New Model No. 3 , the last of the S&W single action Top-Breaks . The beretta laramie follows the lines of that gun , but is not an exact replica , the extraction system is similar to older S&W models.

I should know i have an original no.3 NM

Reloading

Now from my understanding, if one wanted to reload the Schofield, all the rounds were loaded at once. How did this work? I thought revolvers you had to reload each round one at a time? - User:1morey August 13, 2011 6:07 PM (EST)
