Taylors/Uberti/Cimarron Schofield

Hey All...

Few questions about the Italian made Schofield

Do you have one? What caliber? I have heard the bigger calibers(45LC & 44-40) can be problem-matic as the gun was originally designed for the smaller round... .45 Schofield or .45 Smith & Wesson.

If I buy one I've always wanted one in .38 special.


So...give me the pros and cons of this single action. NO.....I am not comparing it to a Colt SAA.....I have several Colt 2&3rd generation.




Just thought it might be kinda cool to have one in the 7" barrel/38 Special.

Give me the scoop on this type of pistol. I have handled them ALOT...just never got to shoot one and put it through it's paces.



I'd like the nickel...ALL nickel!!! I can't stand the nickel with blue screws...

Yes to this....NO BLUED SCREWS!!!

Thought about getting a Schofields but ended up getting a Taylor's Smoke Wagon. Be interested in hearing what people say.

I've read some stuff about them on the SASS wire, only actually shot one, and that was many years ago. The rear sight is very tiny, hard to get a good sight picture with them. It takes a longer thumb to reach the hammer. None of the top tier of SASS shooters use them, it's been a long time since I've seen one at a match.
I've read the cylinder pin fouls up pretty quick with black powder loads.
The Uberti has a longer cylinder than the originals, hence you can get them in .44-40 and .45Colt.
I've said a lot of negatives, but I'd still get one if eating wasn't a priority.
The originals were very popular in the old west, sales were very close to Colt sales. Much easier and faster to reload.

Get the Uberti if you're going to do a Schofield. Taylor's are okay. Cimarron no thanks.
