Schofield Patent Revolver – In the late 1860’s the U.S. Army was shopping for a breech loading fixed cartridge revolver to replace the aging 1860 Colt Army percussion revolvers. They tested the Colt single action and the S&W Model No. 3 American. The test resulted in the adoption of the Colt single action Army Model of 1873 and passing on the less powerful and more delicate 1869 S&W Model No. 3 American. Because the superior loading/reloading capability of the S&W American was recognized by Army ordnance, in 1875 Major George W. Schofield identified and Patented improvements in the design of the S&W Model No. 3 American and the Schofield Patent Revolver (Model No. 3 Schofield) was born. The S&W Model No. 3 Schofield was greatly improved over the Model No. 3 American. The latch on the Schofield can be operated with one hand while on horseback and empty cases automatically ejected. Considered by many to be superior to the Colt single action when in the hand of mounted troops… The Schofield was definitely produced ahead of its time. The Army purchased some 9000 Schofields but due to a lack of promotion by the maker, one of America’s greatest firearms ceased production. The Cimarron Schofield is the most authentic replica Schofield available today.

1872 Open Top was as expected, fit and finish from grips to color case hardened frame and blued barrel is perfect. Cylinder timing and trigger pull is spot on. As with all my Uberti weapons, I have no complaints. Shoots great too! It did come with a lot more oil than usual, but after a good strip down and wiping, totally worth adding this to my collection.

Really nice firearm. I’ll first say this site made the purchase process easy and fast. Also enjoyed the fact I could live chat with someone if I had questions on the order process. Grip fits perfectly and naturally even in my big hands. The hammer cocks back smoothly and the whole thing feels solid. Sight picture is something to get used to and the trigger has a very light pull on it but I don’t see it as a big issue. Came with a decent lock and a small screwdriver for takedown. This is my first single action and I’m very happy with it.

Beautiful gun. Great fit and finish. Shoots dead on where the sights point. I plan on using it for cowboy action shooting. Working with ukrguns was painless and trivial. The entire transaction was electronic and I received the gun in New Mexico the same week I bought it. I highly recommend purchasing through ukrguns. The prices for firearms are better than almost any other place on the web, and they generally have a large selection of items within a genre (e.g. cowboy shooting) from which to choose. Same experience with ammo I bought from them separately.

Love this gun so much that I had to order a 2nd one. Fit and finish is beautiful and the open top hits point-of-aim point-of-impact. Almost all of the classic Colt models that preceded this are known for hitting upwards of 12-18″ above point-of-aim, which tends to carry over in the modern replicas. Soldiers used to be trained to aim for an adversary’s belt buckle to ensure a hit on the trunk. This model having the improved rear sight on the barrel remedies that, making it the most accurate Colt replica predating the SAA design. If you like pre-SAA classics but also expect dead-on accuracy, stick with the 72 Colt Open Tops, and 58 Remingtons.

Another awesome revolver from Cimarron. I’ve bought 5 Cimarron revolvers now, and they’re all excellent. No complaints here about the quality. Fine tuned right out of the box. Accurate too!

Product is just as described. Researched this reproduction extensively before purchasing. No blemishes, dings or imperfections on the delivered product. Operates exactly how it should. I do wish Cimarron would raise the quality of the package. Even a plastic case for their guns would make them better. But all in all I am happy with my Open Top Navy. ukrguns was great too. Shipped within the specified time. Contact through status changes. No issues at all. I was hesitant as this was my first online gun purchase. Feeling much more confident now about ordering from ukrguns. Thanks guys.
