From what I've read and heard, the Colt SAA was the predominant revolver for the military at the time but the Army did buy the Schofield because it could be reloaded on horseback easier with one hand. The problem was the 45 Colt cartridge was by far more commonly found ammunition and the Schofield was promised to be chambered for it but the design of the time couldn't accommodate the longer cartridge and was delivered in the shorter 45 Schofield chambering. Soldiers that were issued the Schofield often found resupply of the Schofield ammunition in short supply while the guys issued the Colt revolvers often had no problem gettign ammo for theirs and I believe they could even use the Schofield ammo if available. A soldier has little use for a firearm that he can't get ammo for so they fell by the wayside.

The grips aren't bad, but have a few dings in the finish, and I prefer a less glossy look, so I was debating pulling them, stripping them, and refinishing them, like you, with a BLO finish, something low gloss. I assume I just take out the three screws (two at the top, one in the bottom) out of the backstrap, and remove it to get the grips off? I also though it was odd how the hammer was unfinished on the sides...is there a reason for this? I like the way your hammer turned out...how did you do that? Did you do that yourself?
