Taylors & Company 550670 Schofield Top Break 45 Colt (LC) Caliber with 5″Barrel, 6rd Capacity Cylinder, Overall Nickel-Plated Finish Steel & Walnut Grip

Here’s a revolver that doesn’t just shoot—it tells a story. The Taylors & Company 550670 Schofield Top Break 45 Colt (LC) Caliber with 5″ Barrel, 6rd Capacity Cylinder, Overall Nickel-Plated Finish Steel & Walnut Grip is a faithful reproduction of Major George Schofield’s 1875 design, built for one-handed operation on horseback. This nickel-plated beauty drops spent casings in a single motion and reloads faster than any solid-frame sixgun. If you collect Old West iron, this is the one you want hanging in your display—and the one you’ll actually shoot at the range.

Key Features

• Top Break Action — Pull the barrel latch back with your thumb and the barrel tips down, ejecting all six spent cases at once. Why it matters: Reloading on horseback (or at the firing line) becomes a two-second affair, not a fumble with a loading gate.
• 5″ Barrel — Balances perfectly between carry length and sight radius. Why it matters: You get a natural point of aim that feels like an extension of your arm, whether you’re shooting one-handed or two.
• Nickel-Plated Finish — A mirror-bright, corrosion-resistant coating that stands up to holster wear and humidity. Why it matters: This revolver will look as good in 20 years as it does today, with minimal upkeep.
• Walnut Grips — Classic, checkered walnut panels with a smooth, rounded profile. Why it matters: They fill the hand without slipping, giving you a secure hold during rapid fire or recoil management.
• 6-Round Capacity — Full cylinder of 45 Colt. Why it matters: You get six shots of big-bore authority, same as the original cavalry troopers—but with modern metallurgy.

Who It’s For

This Schofield is built for the collector who wants a piece of living history that also runs like a modern revolver. It’s for the cowboy action shooter who needs a reliable top break for matches, the Wild West enthusiast who appreciates the Schofield’s unique action, and the shooter who simply wants a beautiful, functional firearm that sparks conversation at the gun show. If you own a 1873 Colt or a Winchester 1873, this Schofield completes the set.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Lightning-fast reloads with the top break ejection—no other sixgun matches its speed.
• Pro: Authentic nickel finish that resists tarnish and looks stunning under lighting.
• Pro: Smooth, crisp trigger pull right out of the box, per Taylors & Company quality control.
• Con: The top break action is slightly bulkier than a solid-frame revolver, making it less concealable for everyday carry.

FAQ

Will this revolver shoot modern 45 Colt ammunition?

Yes. Taylors & Company builds this Schofield with modern steel and heat treatment, so it handles standard-pressure 45 Colt loads without issue. Avoid +P or high-pressure loads—stick to cowboy-action or standard factory ammo for best performance and longevity.

Does the nickel finish require special care?

Nickel is more durable than bluing, but it can chip if abused. Wipe it down after shooting with a silicone cloth to remove fingerprints and residue. Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool. With basic care, the finish will stay bright for decades.

Is this the same as the original 1875 Schofield?

It’s a faithful reproduction, not an antique. Taylors & Company uses modern manufacturing tolerances and materials, so it’s more reliable and safer than an original. The dimensions, action, and appearance mirror the 1875 cavalry model.

Can I use moon clips with this revolver?

No. The Schofield cylinder is designed for rimmed 45 Colt cartridges and does not accept moon clips. The top break ejection system works with the rim, so standard 45 Colt rounds load and eject perfectly.
