Schofield Revolver

"See if this Schofield makes a difference. Now that's a real gun."

- Landon Ricketts giving a Schofield Revolver to John Marston.

The  is a weapon featured in Red Dead Redemption.

Description
The is a single-action six-shot revolver and one of the most powerful handguns in the game, sometimes killing an NPC with 1 shot to the chest or head. Even a simple shot to the lower leg can have a devastating effect. Combined with sheer stopping power, the Schofield also has decent accuracy of around 50 yards.

In Multiplayer, the Schofield seems to lose its power against other players, requiring almost an entire cylinder to kill one at medium to long range. It's accuracy is unscathed however, and a well placed shot to the head will drop a player instantly.

The Schofield Revolver is great for dead eye and sharpshooter challenges, as one small bullet is fired out of this handgun.

The uses Revolver Ammo.
