CR0644 Dixie/Uberti No. 3 New Model Russian Revolver

Fantastic quality and workmanship. The Russian Cryptics on the top of barrel lends to its recreation of a massive service pistol of a long ago era. Well worth the price.

I have pair in 45 Colt. I use them in CAS. Once broken in they fire well and can be used in competitions. I find the trigger spur really helps in drawing from a holster. This is a heavy pistol. I smoothed out the hammer checking and removed the internal safety that was not on the original. Once these changes were made the pistol has broken in nicely. I have medium sized hands. I cannot cock the hammer easily one handed. Therefore I shoot two handed. The pistol cannot be slip hammered. I really like the look and feel of these pistols. I wanted a more period correct pistol for competition and found it with these.

I love my Schofield Russian revolver. First of all, it is a distinctive gun, especially with the trigger guard spur. No one really knows why the Russians insisted on its inclusion: the pistols were initially issued to Hussars/Calvary, and some have speculated that the spur was to prevent sabers from slicing fingers. Personally someone comes at me with a sword and I intend to shoot them before they get that close. I like the spur though because it helps me grab the handle and clear leather faster. The pistol is much faster to load and unload than the Colt SAA. I am surprised that the Schofield was not selected as the Calvary gun in the US as well. I suspect if George Custer had these at the Little Big Horn Sitting Bull would have had fewer warriors at the end of day.
