Buy a NEW model of the Schofield. The older versions were sold in only .45 Schofield which was their main downfall during the time (since pretty much no other gun used the Schofield rounds) and they make newer models in more common rounds like .38 special and .45 long colt. Some of the other Smith & Wesson tip up guns were sold in rounds like .44-40, which was a popular round of the time so that would seem like a better option. Like the New Model Frontier. Since most rifles of the time used .44-40, it was conveniant to have a .44-40 pistol to use the same rounds.
