S&W Schofield: Resent Mfg

[Col Kurtz]

I have been looking for a resent manufacture S&W Schofield.
New or a shooter would be fine but I have never had one in hand. I was wondering about fit finish and quality. I know these can get pricy, are they worth it?
Thanks

I think lots of members here resent S&W, but I don't hold that against them...

I handled one at a shop I don't usually frequent. Very nice finish... I hate to say I didn't pay super close attention to fit though... nothing fell off. I guess that's a good sign.

www.navyarms.com I suggest the Uberti made revolvers. They are actually better quality and functional. The Armi San Marcos and S&W were not up to snuff in quality, fit or function. I don't approve of Cimmaron Schofields either. They weren't good for anything but paperweights. You might ask around the CAS circuit too. www.sassnet.com www.thefrontierspot.org www.graybeards.com

I tried a S&W Schofield at the Shooting Sports Center about a year ago and came away with a negative impression of the gun. The main reason was that the way the trigger is constructed, as I pulled the trigger, my trigger finger was forced upwards on the trigger, making for a very uncomfortable trigger pull. The whole thing just did not sit well in my hand, but that could be me and the gun. My best suggestion is to find one that you can shoot first before you make a buying commitment. Maybe see if there are any Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) events in your area.

I have been looking at Navy Arms recently and think they may be worth a try as Josey suggested.
