I know they're used in cowboy action shootion, but do any of y'all carry them? I think it'd be an interesting alternative to your basic double-action. I know little more, so here are my questions. I'd be really grateful if somebody could answer them all:
1. Is single-action the only option? A break-open double action would be sweet.
2. I hear you can only load 5 cartridges, that it'll fire if you release the hammer on a full cylinder. Is there any way to avoid doing that, and still load 6 shots?
3. How does a .45 Schofield compare to a Long Colt and an ACP in ballistic performance? I know and trust the ACP, and if I can get the same or similar performance, I'll be happy.
4. For that matter, is .45 ACP even an option as a chambering in a break-open? The ACP is cheap enough in my town.
5. While I'm at it, compared to the .45 ACP, what are the price ranges for the Schofield and Long Colt? If they're any more than $10 more expensive per box, I'll scrap the whole break-open idea.
