About this weapon

• ◆The Schofield is the only side arm that comes with the long barrel modification as standard.
• ◆The Schofield Revolver is based on the Smith & Wesson Model 3, more specifically the "Schofield" version.
• ◆The S&W Model 3 was colloquially called the Schofield because of design changes made by Major George W. Schofield to make it better suited for use by U.S. Cavalry. One feature of this is the top-break release mounted at the back of the frame rather than on the roof of it.
• ◆The Schofield Revolver historically was among the most popular revolvers of its era and was used at various times by a number of famous lawmen like Wyatt Earp and outlaws, including notorious John Wesley Hardin.
• ◆The catalogue states that the Russian Government is copying this weapon. This is a loose reference to the Smith & Wesson Model 3 Russian, an export variant of the Model 3 produced by Smith & Wesson in a contract to the Russian Empire, and chambered for .44 S&W Russian.
• ◆The most notable user of this weapon in the game is Dutch van der Linde, who has two custom Schofield Revolvers which have black, silver frames with pearl grips and golden engravings on the barrels. By the time of Red Dead Redemption in 1911, however, he uses the Semi-automatic Pistol instead.
• ◆Some other gang members use this weapon, like Bill Williamson – who has his own unique model that has a rusty, blackened steel appearance, and Uncle, who can be seen with one which is iron-plated with a brass frame.
• ◆More notable users of this weapon are Andrew Milton, Alberto Fussar and Levi Simon.
• ◆Famous Gunslingers Jim "Boy" Calloway and Otis Miller both wielded custom Schofields. Calloway's Revolver is adorned with engravings and the Latin phrase "Canis Canem Edit". It can be acquired through the completion of the side mission "The Noblest of Men, and a Woman" or by shooting Calloway at the start of that mission. Otis Miller's Revolver is gold plated with engravings and can be found in a cave north-west of Armadillo, meaning that it can only be acquired by John Marston unless exploits are used when Arthur Morgan is being played.
• ◆The Schofield reloads slightly slower than the Cattleman in-game. In real life the S&W Model 3 Schofield was much faster to reload than the Colt SAA (Cattleman), due to its top-break mechanism which exposes the entire cylinder face, and its extractor design that dumps all empty casings at once.
• ◆The Schofield Revolver appears in the hands of several official game illustrations, however upon close inspection, the guns instead appear to be regular S&W Model 3 as they bear the original S&W latch rather than the trademark one of the Schofield version.
• ◆Micah Bell is seen dual-wielding two Schofield Revolvers in concept art, but in the actual game he uses a pair of custom Double-action Revolvers. Sadie Adler is also depicted with two Schofields in her artwork, despite her weapon of choice in the game being a custom Cattleman Revolver.
