The Schofield: A Cavalry Classic Reimagined
Taylor's & Company has faithfully recreated the legendary Second Model Schofield revolver, honoring a design that served the U.S. Cavalry with distinction. This is not merely a copy—it is a modern interpretation built to contemporary manufacturing standards while preserving the authentic character of the original.
Design and Operation
The Schofield's break-open action was engineered for mounted soldiers who needed to reload with one hand while controlling their horse. The barrel latch operates intuitively: simply pull it rearward, and the top strap swings open, ejecting spent cases automatically. This elegant mechanism remains as practical today as it was in the 1870s.
