Description
Crafted under the guidance of major George schofield to facilitate one handed operation while on horseback, the break open pistol became a prized sidearm for mounted U.S. Cavalry soldiers. Its design allowed shooters to swiftly eject all six spent cartridges and reload even in the midst of riding. This top break pistol also found favor with legendary figures such as Jesse James and wild bill Hickok. Operating the schofield barrel latch is a breeze – simply pull it back with your thumb and it incorporates a rear sight notch for precision aiming. This particular model boasts a forged steel frame plated in nickel, with nickel-plated finish on various components. Its 2-piece walnut grip adds both elegance and functionality to this exceptional firearm.
