Description
Crafted under the guidance of major George schofield to enable one handed operation while on horseback, the break open pistol became a highly prized sidearm for mounted U.S. Cavalry soldiers. Its design allowed shooters to rapidly eject all six spent cartridges and reload even while riding. This top break pistol also earned favor among legendary figures such as Jesse James and wild bill Hickok. Operating the schofield barrel latch is straightforward – just pull it back with your thumb, and it includes a rear sight notch for precise aiming. This particular model features a forged steel frame with a nickel-plated finish on various components. Its 2-piece walnut grip not only adds elegance but also enhances the functionality of this exceptional firearm.
