After I watched it over and over in slow motion, I've come to the conclusion that when I first started pulling the hammer back, I let it slip back down before finishing the cocking procedure. As soon as I started back with it, it let the bolt drop, releasing the cylinder which was heavier to the left side, being that the one up top and to the right had just been fired, rotated just enough to the left because of my incomplete hammer pull. The full draw of the hammer then found the hand behind where it had started and it then rotated the cylinder ahead to the chamber I'd just fired. The key to avoiding that appears to me to be in a steady, full drawing of the hammer with no let off while the bolt is dropped....like I did on that shot. The gun is as designed and not malfunctioning. It was user error.

This Cimarron is good. My Man With No Name .38 Conversion is good, so is my nickel Pistolero and my Thunderball. Still got those and don't intend to let one go. This Schofield is good. I figured out what happened with my 3rd shot in that cylinder not going off, and it's more inherent to the design than the execution, I think. Seems to me that I pulled the hammer back enough to get the bolt to lower, but if you'll notice, I kind of let off the hammer before finishing pulling it back to full cock. The S&W No.3 design will allow the cylinder to rotate either way at half cock, and that's what happened...the left side of the cylinder was heavier with unfired cartridges and I let it rotate back at that moment of half cock, just enough to get behind the hand for the next stroke. It gave me the cylinder that was next at that point, which was the previously fired one. I've been able to replicate it a few times when I purposely let off the hammer around half cock on my way to full cock, and then go to full cock. The key is to smoothly cock the hammer without letting it off near half cock. My bad.
@plowboysghost5 жыл бұрын
I'll also add, that it seems to me that the main QC issues I've seen from Cimarron in the last year or so has been from Uberti built guns they import/sell.

It has a rack tag for the Massachusetts malitia but wasn't converted to 45/70. (A mystery there) an 1880 Snider conversion in .577. The hand guns are named above, and yes you hit the company right on the nose. I find the history to be important. The Snider conversion, by an American. The Martini Henry, by an American (ripped off by the Swiss guy Martini) the Allen conversion (the Trapdoor Springfield) by an American. America had a hand in at least the top 3 firearms of the times. A fascinating time in history. The Schofield and the Merwin Hubert were expensive but also the finest handguns of that era. Sorry this is so long and a bit off subject but the weapons developed were way ahead of the times. IMHO

I would definitely NOT shoot .45 Colt loads designated "+P" or "Ruger only" out of a break top S&W No.3 pattern...or any of the historic replicas. There are deer falling to weaker "cowboy" .45 Colt loads out of a revolver, and standard pressure, yet full power .45 Colt is even more capable. You're really not compromising lethality with standard pressure .45 Colt. However...if you really want "magnum" power levels (and there's nothing wrong with that), then unless you want a Ruger large frame (Blackhawk/older model Vaquero...both of which can eat +P .45 Colt), you will have to pick another style/caliber. All my .45 Colt firearms are standard pressure guns only (except my Rossi 92 Trapper), and I'm just fine with that. I also have a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Mag and a 4" S&W 629 .44 Mag...for that Magnum itch. I am a BIG fan of the newer S&W 29's and 629's. I say that my favorite handgun caliber is .45 Colt, but I really(!) like .44 Magnum, too. If I were in really big bear/moose country, I'd be carrying a single action in .475 Linebaugh loaded with 400+ gr. bullets.

What i want is a single action revolver (i have been using single shot shotguns for to long to get into the habit of using / checking any safety besides the cocking hammer) that can confidently take down a deer within 50 yards with one shot and also cheaply practice with using reloads. I want to try 45LC since it packs more 👊 than 38 / 357 and seems about as cheap to reload with real powder for practice, but i honestly have no idea if the standard 45 LC is strong enough to be a serious hunting cartridge. My brother told me that only an asshole would shoot a deer with a 150 year old cowboy cartridge and that i should just get a proper 454 Casule revolver instead, but i cant practice with a gun that shoots 5 dollar bills.

@@pinkhead6857890 .45 Colt in std. pressure form with a 250-255 gr bullet will kill any deer (shot placement dependent, of course) you can hit with it, but it won't have the flat(er) trajectory of .44 Magnum or .454 Casull. The original .45 Colt loading pushed a 250-gr bullet to 950-1025 fps out of a 7.5" revolver, and was Army required to be able to kill a horse at either 75 or 100 yards (can't recall which distance it was). That weight bullet at that velocity with a modern bullet with larger meplat can be even more effective. The age of the cartridge matters not. It can kill in 2021 what it killed in 1873....and it killed a lot. Case in point: the .45/70 debuted the same year, and no one can say that .45/70 is too antiquated to work. It's all a matter of what you want to do with it and how far out you want to do it. I've got .38/.357 Magnum guns, and though I like them, I don't favor either cartridge. I've had several .454 Casull revolvers, and I don't aim to ever own another. Though it is very potent, it is also high pressured....with all the blast and sharp recoil, but still a .45 caliber. If you want a replica sixgun of 19th Century design and standard pressure .45 Colt fits your needs, then go for it. Kepp your shot distances reasonable and it can take more than most realize. If you want more power and don't mind adjustable sights, get a large frame Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Colt. You'll have versatility enough to shoot cowboy loads for plinking (which can and have taken deer), std. pressure full power stuff for even greater capability, and .45 Colt Ruger only "+P" that can do anything .44 Magnum can and maybe a bit more. Of course, .44 Magnum is great, too. I can't recommend .454 Casull for a first handgun...and it really doesn't matter that you can fire .45 Colt from a .454 Casull chambered firearm, to me....unless I were looking to hunt huge game at longer distances. If .45 Colt std. pressure can't get it done, and .45 Colt +P can't get it done, then you probably needed a .45/70 rifle.

@@plowboysghost Sorry for the late reply, been real busy with the holidays and overthinking what you told me to make a decision. Ended up getting a .44 Ruger Superblackhawk after realizing that it might possibly be the only quality 44 handgun for less than $1000 or the outragious cost of an S&W Model 29. Cost me well over $100 in ammo to adjust those sights where I wanted, but it now seems just as accurate and definetly quicker to aim within 50 yards than any rifle. Definetly more satisfying to shoot than a 38. I still think the schofields grips, sights, trigger and everything else are much nicer than the Blackhawk. But getting a 45 LC just seemed pointless after reading what you told me. Same cost and scarcity as 44, and if I ever get into reloading the powercreep of wanting to go +p will probably drive me into buying a Ruger Redhawk anyway. The super Blackhawk has arguably the same power but was much cheaper, so I dont see any reason to have a 45 LC over a 44 mag. Hopefully 44 plinking loads can be loaded about as cheaply as 45 LC or 38 special once I collect enough brass. Appreciate all the info, happy new year!

You did that wrong. That "misfire"was due to the cylinder indexing counter-clockwise when you closed the top-break and the empty chamber was indexed one round counter-clockwise. At half-cock, the cylinder is not locked and will rotate/index freely. Meaning the hammer was on a live round and not on an empty chamber when you closed. Had it worked the way you thought it was suppose to, the first time you cocked the hammer, the empty chamber would have been under the hammer and would not had fired the first time.

The OUTLAW JOSEY WALES method of reloading is faster.... in case you don’t remember or live under a rock, he carried six pistols visible and would draw another pistol with the other hand and holster the first one..... and kept going through pistols until bad guys were dead. Reload casually when you’re the only living person in the room.

@plowboysghost5 жыл бұрын
For however many years I was aware that Smith and Wesson had a No.3 and that there was a "Schofield"...even into recent years after seeing "Unforgiven" more times than I could ever recollect since it came out in '92, even after watching Charlie Prince(ss) run his two Schofields, I STILL didn't care about them, or see them as "western". They didn't look "western" like a Peacemaker. THEN, after I'd owned seemingly(almost literally) two dozen Colt clones and got bored with them, I looked closer at the Schofield. ...then I held one....then I took it home. Let that one go for technical reasons, and couldn't go more than several months before i got another new one ...along with the resolve that we never more shall part in this world, but that it is most definitely..."western".

@@plowboysghost Specifically designed for the calvary. Although gunmen like John Wesley Hardin and Jesse James used the Schofield, the pistol never captured the imagination of the old west like the peacemaker. I suspect television and the movies helped cultivate the peacemaker mythos. I read that Wyatt Earp used both weapons during his time as a lawman.

@plowboysghost5 жыл бұрын
A lot of what I've seen and heard online leads me to believe that the Uberti Schofield will bind up easier than my Colt SAA clones, with blackpowder. I might experiment with different lubes on the base pin one day and see if there's a remedy. Otherwise, I'm fine with leaving the bp loads for my Colt clones and my Uberti 1873 Winchester.

They were expensive in the day too, compared to the SAA. The action is much more complex and difficult to manufacture. Those same things affect the price today plus the limited numbers Uberti is producing, again compared to the numbers of SAA clones they make runs prices up. The ones that S&W produced a few years ago were even more expensive.

Being English I can't have a gun like that, so l have to settle for ASG 177 pellet firing replica, ( don't laugh ) l have a SAA Colt 45 peacemaker and a Smith & Wesson 44 Magnum.. By Umarex.. But how l would love to fire the real things. I have fired live rounds before, in the army cadets l was trained with the Lee Enfield 303 and the Bren Machine Gun..when l joined the army, l trained with the SLR 7.62 and The General Purpose Machine Gun in same calibre. I miss the sureness of a real cartridge knowing that if l aim it will reach it exactly where I aimed it. Not peter out of range.
