Taylor's & Co. & Company 550664 .45 Colt 5" 6-Round Walnut Stock Revolver

The Taylor's & Company Second Model Schofield 45 Colt revolver with 5-inch barrel represents a historically accurate reproduction of one of the most iconic single-action designs in American firearms history. Built to modern manufacturing standards while preserving the original break-open mechanism, this 6-round revolver delivers the same operational advantages that made the Schofield the preferred sidearm of U.S. Cavalry soldiers during the late 19th century.

The 5-inch barrel paired with 45 Colt ammunition provides proven ballistic performance in a compact package suitable for horseback carry or traditional sport shooting. The break-open design allows one-handed operation—critical for mounted cavalry drills or single-handed reload sequences—by simply pulling the barrel latch rearward to unlock the frame. The fixed blade front sight and rear notch incorporated into the barrel latch provide functional aiming geometry without unnecessary complexity. Weighing 3.26 pounds with a blued steel finish and walnut grips, the Second Model Schofield offers traditional aesthetics with modern durability and production quality.

This model serves collectors of historical American military arms, competitive Cowboy Action shooters seeking authentic reproductions, and enthusiasts of classic revolver platforms. The 45 Colt cartridge remains widely available and is well-suited to both range training and practical sport applications. The Schofield's historical significance combined with its mechanical reliability makes it a centerpiece for traditional handgun courses and reenactment events where period-correct equipment is required or preferred.

The Taylor's & Company Schofield occupies a distinct category within the revolver market—neither a modern tactical platform nor a safe-queen safe queen display piece, but a functional reproduction of a design that shaped American firearms development. 45 Colt revolvers with break-open frames remain uncommon compared to swing-cylinder designs, making this platform particularly valuable for shooters seeking operational variety and historical authenticity in a single package.
