Thumbs-down is a frustrated person whose thumb isn't long enough to reach the hammer on the Schofield!
It's Dirty Dan because he thought the joke was "just stupid".
Ha - it was someone who standing at the urinal found his bat too short for the base!
Were is the god damn hammer 😊
@@LionquestFitness Explains why his nickname is Old P*ss Boots.
It's someone called Major George W Schofield. Says he's not a fan of the new Model 3
Thank you Santee for having me on the channel!I really enjoyed it. I hope to come on again some time and thank you all for the nice comments!
Any time! Can't wait to sit down and chat with you and see what other cowboy skills ya have.
I had an idea for a “Dressing The Part” segment. An Old West Preacher. Not only could you show us how to dress like a Preacher, but also give a brief history of church in the Old West and the various roles that Preachers & Ministers played back then.
Gotta preacher lined up to help.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Circuit riders! When I was a kid in the 70s my church had a film about a circuit riding preacher named Shep or something like that they showed at church.
Make sure the Preacher reads from the book of Matthew, Mark ,Luke and......Duck
@@AnthonyEmmel Sheffey?
Reverend Swanson
out of all of the single action revolvers that were available during that time, i have a great fondness for the Schofield.
So did a lot of westerners.
Love the fast reloading, but it lacked the power of the Peacemaker. Fortunately, the Uberti replicas are also in .45 Colt. In the day, I would have carried both.
@@bedeodempsey5007 Ballistic performance of .44 Russian vs .45 Colt of that era was nearly indistinguishable. .45 Colt didn't begin to noticeably outpace the .44 Russian until the smokeless era. The retail price of the Model 3 and the SAA were the same (17.50), so really the only major difference was in aesthetics and reload time. The former is a matter of preference, the latter clearly puts the Colt at a severe deficiency, competitively. I would have opted for something that reloaded quickly like the Schofield or the Remington 1858 with spare cylinders on hand.
Marvin Smith, good info, but I was talking about the .45 Schofield. Like Jesse James, I would have carried both. Schofield revolvers were quite a bit faster on the reload, but weaker for "buffaloing" folks.
I'm more akin to the uzi 😎 blapppp blapppp
44. Russian is parent case of 44. Special which evolved later to 44. Magnum thanks to famous cowboy/guide/reloader Elmer Keith
Interesting!
Elmer Keith is quite the celebrity here in Idaho.
It was also the first cartridge not to use a heeled bullet. For those that don't know the difference, look at a .22 LR round and see how the bullet is the same diameter as the case? That is because it uses a heeled bullet. Next look at a 9mm. See how the bullet is recessed into the case? It uses a non-heeled bullet. The Russians wanted that for their military cartridge because it protected the lubrication on the bullet. At that time the bullets had to be lubed as they were bare lead and the rings you see on the .22 are there for that purpose. On the .44 Russian, those rings were protected by the case of the round.
As I understand it, the .44 Special is nothing more than a .44 Russian that's made to use smokeless propellant instead of black powder.
@@BogeyTheBear The case on the .44 Special is a little longer than the .44 Russian's. 1.16" compared to 0.97". There is also a difference in overall length and the .44 Special holds a few more grains of powder.
In today's environment I think it is more important than ever to keep history and truth alive. Great job Santee. Stay safe and God bless.
Thank you!
You so right.. Both truth and history seem to be so disposable in our country today..
Ahhhh, short but informative. Thanks
About all I can do with a full time job. You're welcome.
Ah, my dream revolver. Someday I will have four of them, two long barreled in crossdraw rigs, two short barreled in shoulder holsters.
Start saving now!
Genuinely one of my absolute favourite revolvers
Good.
Now it all makes sense. In westerners that I’ve read they’ve had Scofields ( forgive my misspelling) and Russians, and I’ve always wondered about them, now I know, thanks. Also 100+ years later and my favorite pistol is my S&W 686 plus 357
Good guns, the S & Ws
My family still has our Great-great-great-great grandpa's old guns, and 3 of them are old Model 3's!
That is super cool!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Yeah we got a collection of old guns passed down for generations. Me and my cousins figure we'll keep passing them down until there ain't anymore of us.
@@jumpingbean69 Keep it in the family.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Well since the whole collection is a bunch of rare and old firearms that is the plan. Sometimes we bring them out for educational demonstrations and such.
shoutout to this man for replying to comments years after the video was out out !!
Thank You!
Keeping firearms out of youth's hands is like keeping them away from cars because there could be a wreck. Keep doing what you do, Santee, we all thank you for it. Educating folks is the true cure for ignorance.
Thanks much!
Great video, Santee!
The model 3 is truly an iconic piece
It is.
Been waiting for this episode. I love my Schofield, and it's always a conversation starter when I take it out shooting.
Yes, I bet!
Always an interesting difference in appearance in contrast to the Colt SA, I've come real close to buying one just for the conversation piece that it is. I've shot an Uberti copy a friend of mine owns & it was enjoyable. Two issues I have is its front-heavy balance & that I can buy 2 Colt copies for one Smith. Gotta admit, it's a unique gun.
Yes. You are correct on all fronts. Maybe there would be more people using them if they were $300 less.
Another great video! Thanks for mentioning the James gang. Jesse's last set of revolvers were the Schofield. He carried them cross draw fashion.
Glad you enjoyed it.
I just finish rdr2 and this came to my recommended.
Good.
I saw Jesse perform in Tombstone. Dude's got talent!
Yes, he does. Cool that you saw him!
I have a Smith&Wesson Modle 3 chambered in .45 cal. Mtg in 1888 and purchased New by my great grandfather. Remarkably it has never been fired. Nickel plated with ivory grips and engraving. Along with this is the original holster and gun belt. My great grandfather was a deputy in Appleton, Wisconsin from 1881 thru 1895. Sadly he was killed in 1934 while crossing the street from a bar and got nailed by a beer truck.
Great family history!
My favorite.
Fast ejection, fast reload.
Glad you enjoy that gun.
Santee thank you ,stay happy and healthy, best wishes to you guys from the deep South of the far north.
Thank you!
Thank you Santee for answering a question I was thinking about asking. My favorite Western Author Louis L'amour characters all seem to favor the Smith & Wesson .44 russian ah well a good deal of them seem to. I now know that that they were purchased for the Tsar's officers and that the Russian cartridge and the American cartridge were two different caliber. Again thank you I learn something new every episode.
My pleasure!
I love the schofield such a classy gun
It is!
The Model 3 was a great revolver that was a strong candidate for favourite Old West revolver and it's certainly my favourite.
Glad you like it.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I've shot and handled both S&W Model 3 and Colt SAA.. Both designs have their strengths and flaws. Do you prefer the Model 3 or SAA?
Santee I hope you and yours are safe out there from all the fires , be safe out there .
Thank you!
I’ll get a schofield one of these days but for now I’ll have to be happy with my lemon squeezer in 32 s&w. By the way still think you should do one on insults in the old west.
Yes. I'd like a model 2. Think those are kinda neat.
Insults: "You mangy varmint, no-good sidewinder.Yer yellar. You're lower than a snakes belly in a wagon-rut!" Good ole Hollywood.
the Schofield is my second favorite gun from the era. For one thing it looks just spectacular when engraved, and of course the amount of time being quicker then your average revolver makes it great as well but like I said i's my second favorite. My number one is the Colt Navy with it's cartridge conversion, while just off the looks alone the Iver Johnson is my number three. as for a holdout weapon...because of it's size I consider the Iver Johnson one.
All good choice, amigo!
@@ArizonaGhostriders true but I also like the thunderer as a holdout gun.
Merwin frontier (44/40) way ahead of the pack.
@@kennethhamby9811 interesting choice I respect it.
I really enjoyed this video! It has to be my most ascetically favorite old west gun! When I got into cowboy action shooting a few years ago, I was advised by some seasoned competitors that it would not be good for SAA due to the high wear and tear the competitions put on revolvers. I always found that a bit odd since they were so widely used in the old west under much harsher conditions.
Not sure either. The metallurgy back then was not as good as today...however I haven't heard they have longevity issues.
Cowboy Action is a competitive sport. That entails practice. That entails lots of shooting with your competition guns. So, if your guns were vintage, you're better off with new. Even with Action ammo, which are reduced for lighter recoil/ short range.
I heard some "Sweet Georgia Brown" playin' in my head as he was twirling that piece.
LOL
You are the bests youtubers I know. Greatings from Italy.
Grazie mille!
We really need to keep the "Spirit of the Old West" alive these days! Thanks for another great video history lesson Sante! Take care and God bless!
Well said! Thank you, Pam.
Hey Santee thanks for sharing your passion for the old west and for being consistent.
My pleasure!!
Thank you for still working on your videos during the pandemic santee I really enjoy your videos!
My pleasure!
Good morning Santee that guy Definitely has revovler spinning skills going on, i think its awesome you allowed him to show such to us,. Its awesome seeing the younger generations carrying on this amazing history, ive never held or even seen a revovler in real life only online, it sounds like the upgrades they made really helpped it alot.. have a fantastic week ahead
Right on. I had a couple kids come up to me at the show who watch the channel. Makes it all worth it.
@@ArizonaGhostriders +thats so cool love hearing that mate,.
I have a special place in my heart for top break actions.
Yup!
Right up my alley. It is amazing how many calibers there are throughout the world. Why $$$ of course.
Yes....a lot of guns and not enough money.
Just picked up my first schofield, like everything except how it feels in my hand. The weirdest part is strong and firing the first shot single headed and switching double handed felt smooth and natural with a Colt, but with the Scofield you almost have to change your grip when you switch.
Yeah, it's a fun one.
There are “ smiths” , who can convert the Schofield to use moon clip with 45acp and still fire 45 colt.
Dude i love these revolvers. I especially liked that russian one with the trigger guard spur
Yeah, it's fancy!
The magnificent seven music in the intro
🤠
I love the style of your videos. Always short, on point, educational and entertaining. Just my style ;)
Thank you very much!
Glad you like them!
Just when I was trying to talk myself out of buying even more guns, this video gets posted.
SURE...blame old Santee!! :-)
Hey Santee
When dad was alive he and I had a Cimarron model 3 in our collection. It was a bit pricey, somewhere around $900, but handled just fine. The shell ejection was flawless and I could easily understand why some rapscallion would prefer a model 3 to a traditional revolver. I myself am more of a Cattleman fella
Me too, but that model 3 tends to run expensive, too.
THANKYOU SANTEE YOU'RE THE BEST!!
You're welcome!
Thanks for the history on the Schofield, maybe i'll get the chance to put one in my hand and try it out one of these days!
You should!
Great video, guys. I was wondering if I could ask: The first Red Dead Redemption features the Schofield revolver and takes place in the years 1911 and 1914. Would you guys happen to know if it might be historically accurate for a full length steel Schofield to still be found in civilian usage in these two years? Love your videos and greetings from Scotland. :)
Sure. Not all surplus was cut-down.
Its a video game bruh its not accurate
@@skxlter5747 Oh jeez, I am so terribly sorry for having a mere interest in something.
bannermans bought them surplus when u s govt declared them obsolete so they ended up sold to civilians
@@skxlter5747 But like... it is. The RDR series does a really good job with historical accuracy.
This has been my dream revolver since I saw it in the remake of 3:10 to Yuma.
It's a great one.
Loved this episode! I reckon I've always fancied a Top Break Revolver. :)
JT
Glad to hear it.
This is late, but I think revolvers are the coolest weapons. Now put someone in the position where they only have one shot due to a muzzle loading musket, and then tell them that there is a gun that is small and has 6 shots. Mind blowing.
Huge change for folks!
Wish i can have one here in Indonesia , you can't even carry an airsoft here . Goddamn i want a Schofield and a Winchester repeating rifle
I get that frustration. Can you move to a gun-friendly country? :-)
@@ArizonaGhostriders maybe when i'm mid 20s , still a 14 years old kid sadly
@@41_orizaferishpriyono99 Hehe, sounds like you got the bug. Take it from me, it never stops at 2 or 3. I hope you get to own and shoot your dream guns.
if you can have the shipped to you and if your laws allow it. you could try for the airgun versions
This is one of my favorite Old West pistols. Nice of you to collaborate with a fan, Santee. Once things calm down, I'll have to take a trip out to Arizona to catch some shows.
We are here to make ya smile.
@@ArizonaGhostriders, I think we can all use more of that these days. Thanks for the history, and happy 4th! 👍
That lad can spin iron! Grand video once again. Just got a new holster for my schofield, she’s a beauty but I’d not try twirling that around. Makes my palms sweat with anxiety just thinking about it xD keep it up guys. Stay well and stay safe out there and thanks for all these facts
You're welcome. Much appreciated.
You had me at Charlie Prince.
HAHAA!
Great video. Also, the editing is getting a lot better! Keep it up
Thanks. My editing gets great reviews from a lot of pros. Nice to have a gift for it.
Man the thought of two schoefieds with 5 inch barrels is terrifying
my great great grand father was a methodist circuit preacher
Yes.
Cool.
Excellent video as always Santee and Ghostrider Posse! With cases rising in Arizona I really worry sometimes about you guys.I love this channel, with all my life. Please stay safe Santee, Dirty Dan, Arizona Red, and whoever else on your posse's payroll is reading this. I'm keeping you guys in my thoughts and my prayers so that you'll stay safe and healthy! May the road rise to meet you, and may the wind always be at your back. I'll see you guys on down the trail... and keep making amazing and very informative history videos. Sincerely, Morgan Earp.
Thank you so much.
Was US Army cavalry and all they gave me was a M1911A1. Heck, I didn't even get a horse.
Those ruffians!
I loved my 1911a1 uncle sam let me use. 11B M-60 Gunner
@Doctor Blome My Grandfather, being a Cowboy from Idaho & Montana, joined the US Army Cavalry. Unfortunately, it was in the mid-late 1930s so they moved him from Cavalry to "Signal Corp". He got a medical discharge after a training incident but they let him buy his 1903 Springfield to take home with him.
@Doctor Blome Cool, I thought that Krag was an interesting looking rifle. It is great to be able to show younger family members items from family history. It helps make it more real. My father still has the Springfield now, with the leather saddle scabbard my grandfather had made for it. Given that the Springfield was a military rifle & has a bayonet lug, I wonder when they will consider that old bolt-action an "assault" rifle. It looks like it is going to be a rough several years ahead.
I love old guns very beautiful!
yes!
This was interesting!
So glad
My favorite Wild West pistol! Don’t get me wrong I love the single action army too but if I had a choice I’d carry a Schofield every time.
I'd either have a S&W #3, flip a coin for the exact version, or a Remington, either a 1858 conversion or a 1875.
Remington conversion is also nice. I currently have a 1851 colt navy replica but it’s not conversion it’s still ball and cap.
It all depends on what you like.
Arizona Ghostriders thanks for the response!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Yep.
I have this in 38 cal, nickel finish, and 5 inch barrel. With 38 special standard loads the recoil feels like I am shooting a 22 LR. With + P recoil is also very light. It is a tack driver I love it.
Cool! 🤠
I saw the thumbnail and immediately got excited.
Good!
I really need to get my hands on two of them! I really can't afford two of them! Great information, just in case I can get my hands on two of them! Thanks Santee!
I get that Richard. I don't really want one...especially at those prices. I'd like to get one of those little bitty model 2s though.
@@ArizonaGhostriders North American Arms makes a miniature "Schofield-esque" revolver in .22mag! They're still kind of pricey though.
$1050!!!! Yeah that does kinda seem like a lot. If I got one, I'd get a No. 3 in .44 Russian. I'd have to do reloads to make it affordable probably. Fiocchi .44 Russian 247 gr Lead Round Nose, Box of 50 = $40
@@Squib1911 if you get it in .45, you can trim all your old .45 Colt brass and make Schofields!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview yeah, but I am partial to the .44 Special and the .44 Russian was the predecessor to it, so.....
And according to Wikipedia, that caliber was available in America, so it could still be historically accurate.
I wanna get a Schofield revolver myself. While I still love the Peacemaker, the Schofield is one of my other favorites
Get em all!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Oh, That's exactly what I indeed to do. I already got a Dragoon, but I am gonna get a Peacemaker, Schofield, Remington, and even a few rare finds like a Merwin, Hulbert & Co. Revolver
I like when Santee freaks out when other people spin his gun.
My gun!
Perhaps we may get a video on double actions in the west? Also i was curious about cheap guns in the west. Like what were the saturday night specials of the west of there were any?
There were. I'll do one on those.
Oh yes, I need a model 3 in my life. Jessie impressing the ladies.
Yes!
I love the Schofield in .45 Colt.
It's a nice piece.
I love me some S&W #3. I just wish I could afford to own one! I also like the Remington 1858 factory conversion. Remington had to pay a royalty on the Roland White patent for every conversion of the 1858 that they did.
Interesting additional info! Thanks, Rich.
@@ArizonaGhostriders No problem. Always happy to pass along some knowledge! That was one of the things we discussed in that old west revolver primer I was telling you about.
I'd LOVE to have a Schofield. There's only a couple of things keeping me from pulling the trigger (pun intended) and buying one. The $900 pricetag and the wife who knows how much they cost. I guess I'll just keep watching Gunbroker and hoping for a deal. :::sigh:::
Yeah, I think they cost way too much, as well.
My motto is the less said, the better. Lol
The lesson here is don't leave the Gunbroker page open on the computer when you go to the bathroom, especially when the wife is home. It's better to download their app to your phone and take it to the bathroom with you. That's how I got my 73 Winchester.
@@hacksaw434 Oops lol. I don't even have a laptop anymore....but the other thing is watching a TH-cam channel that blurts out the price of a gun while I'm watching it. Just can't do it while the wife's around.
I will buy the airgun Schofield.Not like the real thing, but yeah/
When you crash a wedding, but it's in the South, so all the guests are carrying these bad boys.
Wow.
@@ArizonaGhostriders
Context: "Til Death Do Us Part" Is probably the hardest Hitman: Blood Money mission on your first playthrough, especially if you prefer to go in guns blazing. Because there's over a hundred people present and they all have either Model 3 revolvers or shotguns.
Yeah dat kid Jesse was really. You should have him on more often. Excellent videos thanks for sharing
You bet
Yet another fun episode. Thanks so much
You're welcome!
Another awesome video my friend. I remember learning about hsi in some history books. Some of the known ones are the Colts and the S&W. Cool video as usual my friend.
BTW, have any of the Western Themed areas opened back up? If so, are people staying safe and following the rules? Stay safe my friend. 👍👍👍
Thank you! No, theme parks are still closed, sadly.
Hi my friend thanks for your visit we will always return back and show our love another awesome upload thumbs up from us take and remember we love ya always 👍
Thanks for coming
I wish I could go to Jesse's spin class. He knows how to cycle.
Heheh.
Downside to Schofield, in my opinion, is that it’s insanely hard to do spin trick like in the intro video due to how heavy it is. Most spinning tricks come from the Peacemaker and rarely the Remington 1875 because of their weight being balance enough. Schofield makes me feel like I’m holding a magnum or Desert Eagle.
Yeah, it's balance is all off for spinning.
I got a Uberti reproduction Schofield Wells Fargo model with the 5 inch barrel in .45 Colt, I keep it loaded with 235 grain Winchester silver tip HP, it's my EDC gun.
Very cool
Very informative and interesting video about what guns were used in the old west I would like to see a video on the rifles used in the oldwest
Check out the Firearms playlist.
I can definitely see the appeal of the Schofield it was certainly ahead of its time. That top break action is amazing but unfortunately the ammo being basically for that gun only would be a problem and I can see that hammer position would be an issue
For me it isn't a "fast gun" or easy to handle. Yes, for reloading it's a snap.
I love the Schofield always wanted one but could not afford it.
Yeah, they are pricey. Try to find one used.
I found one used in a pawnshop for for $1300, they claimed it was really old and rare but it didn't look like it was worth it
I really enjoyed this episode, Santee !!!!!!!! I just wish that i had the money for a Schofield revolver. I guess it will have to be a bucket list item for the near future !!!!!!!!!
Keep savin'
I have a HR 32 it was my grandfather's he carried it in 1907 in NY CITY. He passed it down to me. The pattern # is 1891.
CooL!
Ok now do an episode on the Remington Conversion revolver please. Got my longjohns in a knot here.
Soon, Al. Soon. Untie you longjohns.
Jesse must be amazing if Mrs. Santee was impressed 😎
i honestly hadn’t heard about these, but they make sense that they didn’t need to advertise when actions and usage speak for rhem
Thanks for watching.
Charlie Prince in 3:10 to Yuma turned me on to these fine shootin' irons and I've had a hankerin' for one ever since.
Yeah, just don't end up like he did....!
Great vid, thanks Cheese !!! I I have come close to getting a top break a dozen times, but like you, I have trouble reaching the hammer.. I tend to roll the gun up when cocking the hammer, I’m afraid of shooting a hole in the range ceiling ha ha ha
HAHAHA!
Fun fact the idea of a bored-through cylinder had been patened by one mister Rollin White and he sold the exclusive rights to use that patent to S&W, and so S&W had a complete monopoly on breech-loading cartridge revolvers, until the patent ran out in 1869, thankfully he wasn't given a patent extension.
Thank you for the added info.
That old boy Bill Bradenton clever and cunning in life and after death hahaha
Yes
That kid was talented
He is.
Jessie, awesome skills! Keep it up, Amigo!
He will, I hope.
He is amazing with a revolver 🔫
Glad you think so.
Would give my eye teeth (truth is I don’t have them anymore 😜) for a Schofield, the only model I don’t own ☹️, my favorite is still my Remington 1875’s (love those guns, just plan sexy 😘). So far Schofields have just been out of my price range, one day 🤞🏼🤞🏼. And Jessy, great seeing the younger generation carrying on the tradition and love of the Old West. 🤙🏼❤️🤠
Thank you Threewolfs. As always, really appreciate ya
I got a 1875 also & it is sexy 😎
I am a S&W fan boy
Cool.
I love the Schofield so much. It is my favorite revolver. When I finally get into Wild West Reenacting. That is the revolver I plan to use. Or the Colt Navy.
Both good choices. Navy would be cheaper by far.
@@ArizonaGhostriders True, However I plan to own both for different impressions. One of my ancestors was a Texas Ranger and I plan to use the Colt Navy for that.
Thanks for the content I have been asking this for a long time thank you
Happy to help!
Thanks Santee for this information and Great Video 😎🤙
You bet!
He said it! AHHHH HE SAID IT. SEE YOU ON THE TRAIL TOO SANTEE
👍👍
Damn that kids got some spinning skills
He's darned good.
Another great video. Thanks Santee
Glad you enjoyed it
@@ArizonaGhostriders Always Santee ... You make Howard Hawks look like a wanna bee !
