Description:
SMITH & WESSON PERFORMANCE CENTER 2000 MODEL 3 SCHOFIELD SINGLE-ACTION REVOLVER

For you consideration, this Smith & Wesson Gen 3 Model 3 Schofield Single Action Revolver, which is a modern reproduction of one of the most iconic firearms of the late 19th century. Originally designed by Major George W. Schofield, this revolver was an evolution of Smith & Wesson’s Model 3, incorporating improvements that made it more suitable for military use.

The Schofield revolver is known for its top-break design, allowing for faster reloading compared to other revolvers of its time. The Gen 3 reproduction retains the classic aesthetics and mechanical design of the original Schofield, making it a popular choice for collectors, historical reenactors, and cowboy action shooters.

It is chambered in .45 S&W Schofield, the original chambering for this revolver. One of the most distinctive features of the Schofield revolver is its top-break action. The barrel and cylinder are hinged at the front, and a latch at the rear of the top strap allows the shooter to break open the revolver, which simultaneously ejects all spent cartridges.

This design significantly speeds up the reloading process compared to the more common side-loading gate found on other revolvers of the era, such as the Colt Single Action Army.
