I never had a break open revolver but they sure look easy to load and fast to unload. There's a company making reproductions of the .45 Schofield revolver, but not in .45 Schofield (.45 Smith & Wesson) caliber. You can get one in .38 Special, .44-40, or .45 Colt. They say it's historically accurate to the original, but .45 Colt ammo is way too long to use in a real .45 Schofield revolver.

Schofield

And just to clarify, there never was, and still isn't, any such thing as a .45 Long Colt, .45 Short Colt, .45 LC, or .45 SC caliber, no matter what label they slap on it. There is, and has been since 1872, only one .45 Colt caliber. There's no .45 Short, Medium, Long, or Extra Long Colt, just .45 Colt. Apparently some army quartermasters called it .45 Long Colt so people knew they weren't talking about .45 Smith & Wesson (.45 Schofield). The fact that the names are completely different should have been enough that they didn't need to call either one of them Short or Long. But the army adopted the M1887 Military Ball Cartridge for both Colt and Schofield revolvers, and for the last 131 years there hasn't been any reason to refer to .45 Colt as .45 Long Colt, unless you think .45 ACP sounds too much like .45 Colt. If you do, you shouldn't be allowed to own guns, or to be out in public unsupervised.

 

Not for those reasons but I sometimes question whether or not I should be allowed to own guns.

 

Most of the time I'm okay owning guns but I wonder, if I had a 10 pound case of Tannerite could I be trusted not to use it all in one shot?






I need to watch that last one again.

 

that would be a tough decision

 

The biggest explosion of Tannerite I've seen so far is 164 pounds that destroyed a barn. For about half the cost of that you can get 600 pounds of Binary X which makes a crater in the ground. And if that's not enough try 1776 pounds.

 

A friend of mine from back in high school works in CA setting up explosions for Hollywood movies.

He told me its a fun job.

 

How many fingers does he have left?

 

he still has all 9 of them

 

That's how you can tell he's good at his job.

 

He still has all 10.
