FS S&W Performance Center Schofields SPF

Recommended Posts

 

I have a pair of Smith and Wesson Performance Center Schofields.  If you have not handled one of these they are as smooth as glass and lock up as tight as a jug! You can tell this is a Performance Center revolver and has had hands on attention from one of Smith & Wessions best gunsmiths!   I bought these about 10 years ago as new condition.These are no longer being made and getting hard to find one.  Here is you chance to buy a pair!   I have never fired them and they are still as new.  I have faux ivory grips on them and the original grips.  I also have the factory wood display cases.  I have a pair of closed toe El Paso  Saddlery holsters to go with the guns.  I want to sell them as a pair   $4600 for the pair plus shipping. If two people will commit to buying  one then $2375 ea plus the shipping.   They will go from my FFL dealer  to your FFL dealer.  I will pay for the ffl dealer on my end. They  are 45 Schofield Caliber with 7 inch barrels!   No Sales to California my FFL dealer will not ship to California!  I will not ship these without going through an FFL dealer onboth ends. If you are a PA resident and want to do a face to face transaction at my local dealers we can arrange that.IMG_0843.JPG.fe2105c051ac793bfe4e1a45350e10ad.JPGIMG_0844.JPG.c66755403e4cf1b4a42bef4641a318a8.JPGIMG_0846.JPG.8854d16b94333f2fc16cb93081faaccd.JPG

Pards, these are top quality Performance Center Smith and Wesson guns! that I am shipping through my FFL dealer, I am paying  my dealer fees on my end!  Shipping a firearm from here for and individual  is very expensive.  The last time I tried to ship a handgun back to the maker was $103, got the company to sell me a call slip for $30.  I have no idea of why the resistance to getting it shipped by my FFL but I will tell you he uses the USPS and will be the best price possible from here

These really are just awesome guns. When I see USFA's sell for the same money but these are still sitting here it's a bit of a head scratcher. Being fortunate enough to have a pair myself I can attest that they are my dream guns and my "Colts" when ti comes to having guns I really have no business owning. If you can swing it, this is a legacy set of guns. Mine will be going to my son someday.

Do the S&W PC guns work with black powder?  I'd love to have a pair of schofields, but I've held off on the Ubertis because everyone tells me they simply won't work with BP because of the longer cylinder/lack of gas ring, etc.

I've shot a lot of BP but I just cannot bring myself to do it in my PC Schofields. They are too pretty LOL. My guess is not with real BP, but perhaps a sub like APP.

I don't know why you couldn't use black powder in these S&Ws. I shoot only black powder in my original S&Ws from the 1870s (Russians, NM#3s) and have no problems. If I recall correctly David Chicoine, the premier S&W gunsmith, wrote that even light loads of smokeless led to stretched frames. I stick with black.

From what I have read, they do not handle bp. I can’t confirm this for sure, as this is all hearsay for me and not from experience.

From what I have read, the “new” ones weren’t designed with the same bushing as the originals so they don’t handle bp well. Same with the ubertis, though they have a legitimate excuse. Not sure why S&W changed the design. They also went with a frame mounted firing pin rather than on the hammer. Again no idea why. I did read somewhere (second hand) that a guy asked a S&W rep about both the firing pin and the black powder, and apparently the rep was shocked that someone would actually shoot one of these guns, let alone with black powder.
