A Legend of the Old West

Designed by Major George Schofield for mounted cavalry operations, this top-break pistol revolutionized combat efficiency on horseback—a soldier could eject all six spent cartridges and reload without dismounting.

This same latch incorporates the rear sight notch, a clever design that combines function with simplicity. The result is a pistol that's fast to reload and intuitive to operate, whether you're at the range or recreating historical shooting scenarios.
