Designed by major George schofield with the intent of being easily operated with one hand while on horseback, the break open pistol proved to be the ideal sidearm for mounted soldiers in the U.S. Cavalry. Shooters could efficiently eject all six spent cartridges and reload, all while remaining on horseback. The top break pistol also found favor with legendary figures like Jesse James and wild bill Hickok. The schofield barrel latch is conveniently opened by pulling it back with the thumb and it incorporates a rear sight notch for accuracy. This particular model showcases a forged steel blued frame, complemented by a blued finish with various case-hardened components. Its 2-piece polymer pearl grip adds to its visual appeal and functionality. Additionally, this model is adorned with deluxe engraving, further enhancing its overall elegance and style.
