That was one revolver I had to really work at to shoot well. I later traded it for a Ruger SBH .44 Mag that worked better for me.

I seriously considered the Schofield but decided to get the Ruger instead. Less money was probably the factor.

Well I think it was the shape of the grip or the way I gripped it. It was just a bit difficult to get all my shots in the same area on target.
Another thing was the tendency for a spent case to get hung up under the extractor ring.

Much happier with the Ruger SBH .44 Mag!
