Uberti 1875 No. 3 2nd Model Top Break Revolver U348530, .45 Colt, 3.5″, Two-Piece Walnut Stock, Blued Finish

The Uberti 1875 No. 3 2nd Model Top Break Revolver U348530 is a masterfully crafted reproduction of the historic Smith & Wesson Schofield revolver, designed by Major General George Schofield. This revolver, chambered in .45 Colt with a 3.5″ barrel, combines Old West heritage with modern manufacturing precision, making it a standout for collectors, historical reenactors, and cowboy action shooters.

Historical Significance

The original Schofield revolver was a revolutionary firearm in its time. Its innovative top-break design allowed the cylinder to tilt open, automatically ejecting all six spent cartridges and enabling rapid reloading—an advantage particularly appreciated by cavalry troopers and famous outlaws. Legends such as Jesse James, John Wesley Hardin, and Wild Bill Hickok favored the Schofield revolvers for their speed and reliability. While the U.S. Army purchased around 3,000 improved Schofield revolvers for cavalry use, the Russian government became its largest customer, ordering over 41,000 units with slight modifications such as a lanyard ring and Cyrillic barrel markings. Uberti faithfully reproduces these historic Top Break models, including the Russian variant, ensuring collectors can experience the authenticity of this classic design.
