The Cimarron Firearms Schofield is a single-action revolver chambered in .38 Special, modeled on Smith & Wesson's original top-break Schofield design from the 1870s. The 7-inch barrel and black finish give it the look of the original U.S. Army-issued revolvers, while the two-piece walnut grip keeps the feel close to authentic. At 2.65 lbs and 6-round capacity, it's a reasonable range gun for cowboy action shooting or a display piece for collectors.

Features 

 
The top-break design means the action hinges open at the top of the frame for loading and ejection -- faster than a side-gate single-action like the Colt SAA, and a meaningful part of the original design's appeal to cavalry. The walnut grips are two-piece and fit the frame well. Fixed sights are period-correct. The 7-inch barrel contributes to longer sight radius and the slight nose-heaviness some shooters like for steadier offhand holds. Chambering in .38 Special rather than the original .45 Schofield keeps ammunition readily available and recoil mild.

The Cimarron Schofield .38 SPL consistently gets positive marks from cowboy action shooters and collectors who understand what it is. The historical connection to the Old West and Smith & Wesson's original cavalry revolver is a draw, and most owners appreciate the top-break mechanism as both a design point and a practical faster-loading feature.

The long barrel and .38 Special chambering both come up as practical positives -- sight radius is good and the cartridge is easy to shoot. Weight discussions are split: some find 2.65 lbs perfectly comfortable, others mention it feels substantial over long range sessions.

Ammo availability for .38 Special is generally not a problem, which is one advantage this model has over original-caliber Schofield reproductions. Sentiment overall is positive, with most buyers knowing the market niche and purchasing accordingly.
