Quick, what’s the first gun that comes to mind when you see the phrase, “cowboy gun”? While we’re not the betting sort around here, we’re willing to wager you probably said the 1873 Colt Single Action Army or the Winchester Model 1873. And well you should. But there are other models worthy of your attention. Take the 1875 Schofield.

Guns of ‘The Son’: 16 Models Used in AMC’s New Western TV Series

Developed by one Major George Schofield for one-hand operation while on horseback, this break-open model was a godsend for U.S. Cavalry soldiers. In modern times, the Schofield has been used in films like “Tombstone,” “Unforgiven,” “3:10 to Yuma,” and “Bone Tomahawk.”

When our friend Graham Baates told us he had a tabletop review of an 1875 Schofield from Taylor’s & Co., we couldn’t pass up the chance to bring it to you. In the video above, Graham takes you through the history of the Schofield. He also provides a close look at this specific Taylor’s & Co. model. Check it out above.
