An Officially Authorized Smith & Wesson Model 3 Schofield Revolver
|
 This is the first-ever
project America Remembers has issued under license with Smith & Wesson,
and this official authorization is sure to enhance the appeal of the
Tribute for firearms enthusiasts across America. The Smith & Wesson
Model 3 is a unique top-break revolver, and is considered one of the
classic firearms from the days of the Western frontier. Many
consider it to be the finest revolver ever developed for use astride a
galloping horse.
As a "top-break" revolver, the 1875 Schofield could be loaded quicker than
other sidearms of the day. With the barrel latch released, the
barrel could be pulled down and the spent cartridges could be easily
ejected. Colonel Schofield's design relocated the barrel latch from
the barrel to the frame. As a result, a shooter could operate the
latch with his thumb and open the revolver for loading and unloading with
just one hand. With practice, a shooter could refill all the
chambers at once without looking. This was a major advantage for a
mounted soldier, and provided the Schofield with an advantage over the
Colt Peacemaker.
