The Taylors & Company Schofield .45 LC revolver is a faithful reproduction of one of the Old West's most iconic handguns. Built around the famous top-break action that made the original Schofield legendary among lawmen and gunfighters, this Model 0855 delivers classic single-action reliability in .45 Long Colt—a cartridge that defined frontier firepower. Whether you're a Cowboy Action Shooter, collector, or someone who appreciates historically accurate firearms with real performance, the Schofield offers that perfect blend of authentic aesthetics and shootability.

With its 5-inch barrel and 6-round capacity, the Schofield strikes a practical balance. The top-break design allows fast reloading—a genuine advantage on the range or in competition—and the fixed blade front sight pairs with traditional open notch rear sights for intuitive aiming. At 2.40 pounds and 10.8 inches overall, it handles like a proper period revolver should: fast, balanced, and pointable. The polished blue finish and walnut grips give it that authentic color case-hardened-era look without pretension, while the single-action trigger breaks crisp and predictable for accurate shooting.

This is the real deal for Cowboy Action Shooting events, collectors building a working Western battery, or anyone serious about shooting .45 LC revolvers with genuine history behind them. The Schofield's reputation wasn't built on fancy marketing—it was built on outlaws, lawmen, and soldiers trusting their lives to it. Taylors & Company's reproduction honors that legacy without cutting corners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Taylors & Company Schofield good for Cowboy Action Shooting?

Yes. The top-break design, fast reloading capability, .45 LC caliber, and traditional single-action trigger make it a natural fit for SASS and similar Cowboy Action competitions. The authentic proportions and sights are also well-suited to period-correct shooting events.

What does .45 Long Colt ammunition cost and where do I find it?

We can't speak to current ammunition pricing or availability, but .45 LC is a classic cartridge with decent supply through most ammunition retailers. Check current availability before purchase to ensure you can source rounds locally or online.

Can I carry this revolver every day?

At 2.40 pounds and 10.8 inches overall, the Schofield is compact enough for a holster, but it's a single-action revolver designed in the mold of frontier firearms. Most shooters carry it for hunting, hiking, or sport shooting rather than as a modern carry gun. Holster options may be limited compared to more common modern handguns.

What kind of sights does it have?

The Schofield features a fixed blade front sight and an open rear notch sight—the classic sight picture that made the original famous. These are fixed, not adjustable, so you'll want to test your load at the range to confirm point of aim before hunting or competition use.
