The Taylor's & Company Schofield 7"" Single-Action Revolver is a modern reproduction of the iconic pistol used by mounted soldiers in the U.S. Cavalry. Shooters can easily eject all 6 spent cartridges and reload while in the saddle, and the top-break design was a favorite of Jesse James and Wild Bill Hickok. The barrel latch opens by pulling it back with your thumb. This model features a forged steel blued frame, case-hardened components, and a 2-piece walnut grip. Fixed on-hammer firing pin.
