The Cimarron Model 3 Schofield .45 Long Colt revolver is a faithful reproduction of one of the Old West's most storied firearms—a top-break six-gun favored by cavalry soldiers, lawmen, and frontier gunfighters for its speed and reliability. This 5-inch barrel version, finished in traditional blued steel with walnut grips, splits the difference between the shorter civilian configurations and the full-length cavalry models, making it equally at home on the range or in the hands of a serious Schofield enthusiast. Whether you're drawn to authentic Old West history or simply appreciate a revolver with genuine character and proven mechanical design, the Schofield delivers both.
The Schofield's top-break action was revolutionary for its time—a single lever at the top of the frame allows the barrel and cylinder to swing down as a unit, ejecting all spent casings in one clean motion. That feature made it the preferred sidearm of mounted soldiers and cowboys who valued quick reloads in the saddle. Cimarron's Model 3 replicates the mechanics and feel of original examples, with a crisp trigger and the kind of solid lockup you'd expect from a purpose-built service revolver. The 5-inch barrel strikes a practical balance, offering good sight radius while keeping the gun compact enough for horseback carry or fast-draw work.
Chambered in .45 Long Colt, this revolver also handles .45 Schofield ammunition—a bonus for shooters exploring period-correct or lower-recoil loads. The blued finish and two-piece walnut grips deliver authentic period styling without pretense. Cimarron's attention to detail—right down to historically accurate markings—makes this Schofield a genuine conversation piece and a reliable shooter for Cowboy Action, historical reenactment, or collection-building. If you want a revolver with real Old West lineage and mechanical charm, this is it.

Cimarron offers the Model 3 Schofield in 3.5-inch, 5-inch, and 7-inch (cavalry length) configurations. The 5-inch version is a middle ground—more portable than the 7-inch cavalry model but with a longer sight radius than the shorter 3.5-inch option.
Yes. The grips carry historically accurate markings—left grip shows "DAL Lt David A Lyle inspector" and right grip shows "CW Charles Woodman sub inspector"—mirroring the original inspection marks found on period examples.
