Would love to see a picture or three.

A) I really like the 3.5" nickel. I got mine at a pretty nice price too, not $400 nice, but lots more attractive than MSRP.
B) Nice collection of pocket top breaks. That knuckle duster H&R (IIRC) looks particularly tasty.
C) Might have to add one of those belly gun BP conversions down the road. I like the uniqueness of them, bet they're fun too.
Thanks for sharing all of them.
I had two of the pro center guns in my sample kit, when I was a RSM for S&W, shot a couple match's with them.Back in Y2K, S&W's Performance Center released their own Model 3 Schofield commemorative. They were actually chambered for 45 S&W. I have two of them, one nickel-plated and one blued. Here are a couple of quick photos of the blued one. I also have a Navy Arms (Uberti) version chambered in 45 Colt. I like both versions, but the actual S&W commemorative balances better. I've used them to shoot in SASS events.
Excellent ! Mine in 44-40I've looked at these things for years, seems like every time I'd see one at a gunshow or my LGS, I'd have to stop and ask, "May I see that please?". Play with it for a few minutes and then hand it back thinking, "Wow. That's actually pretty cool".
Every one I've handled, and there's been a bunch, struck me on how well they were fitted, the quality of the machining, and excellent polishing. But I always handed it back over as it seemed I was always looking for something else that day.
But not anymore.
This one was sold through Navy Arms about 20 years ago and came to me LNIB. The lock-up on this six gun is INCREDIBLE. Really looking forward to getting out to the range with this one. I'm betting it's going to be very accurate, and I just happen to be sitting on several hundred rounds of 45 Colt "Cowboy Loads".
Anyone else own one? Or Two? Any of the other variants of Number 3?
A beautiful brute! With that huge rib, how much does that thing weigh?....

I'd have to look up the spec weight, but it's a rather quick handling single action imo. I'll add this, it's a hell of a lot lighter in the hand than my 1875 Remington clone. (another fun repro to play with)
The barrel rib is scalloped along it's length and has a groove along the top leading to the front sight. It's a neat piece of machining, whether in 1875 or 2023.![]()
I too have admired the Schofields and other large frame S&W top breaks but could never afford one, original or reproduction. But a few months ago I found a nice Taylor/Uberti Frontier on a local classified site. Its a 6.5" barreled, 44 Special and I'm not complaining. Nice trigger and very accurate with the two boxes of 200 and 240 grain HSM Cowboy action ammo that came with it. Now to find a nice holster rig...

I just bought an Uberti 1875. I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. What do y'all think of your's?
I've been Cowboy Shooting two Uberti 5.5" Schofields for the last 14 years, and have never had a lick of trouble with them. I've got 5 different pairs of cowboy guns, so they only get shot every fifth match, but that still amounts to a LOT of shooting over the years. I've personally never found them to be any different to handle than Colt clones or Rugers, nor any less accurate. As someone said above, that seems to vary from gun to gun. I obviously got lucky, twice.

I had found a little out of the way gun shop in the mountains of NC that I called on, that had a couple of cases of 45 Schofield on his shelf, that he had had forever, traded him a case of S&W coffee mugs for them.
Wish I would have kept those guns. I think I might still have some of the paper "Promo kits" on them in a box ,,somewhere.
Holster was made in or around 1938 by "Eubanks leather" in Idaho
(Guns in the holster now are Berra Schofield Co2 bb guns)
