Cimarron Model 3 Schofield
Cimarron Model 3 Schofield .38 Special Single-Action Revolver
Produced by Smith & Wesson from 1875 to 1915, the Model 3 Schofield Top-Break revolver was designed to meet the needs of cavalry soldiers. The top-break design allowed a shooter to easily eject spent cartridges and reload while on horseback. The pistol also became a favorite of such notables as Jesse James and Bill Hickok, and a version of it became a standard sidearm in the Russian government. Many considered it superior to the 1873 Colt for mounted work. This Model from Cimarron would make an excellent addition to the collection of any Old West fan or cowboy-action shooter.
Major George W. Schofield of the 10th Cavalry and an army ordinance officer, designed this revolver as an improvement over Smith & Wesson’s No. 3 “American” model.
