you should note that there’s a huge difference in the .45 schofield and a .45 colt.
the .45 colt is a little bit more potent that an .44 mag (in a ruger, freedom arms or thompson) whereas the .45 schofield is about the equivalant to a .45 acp. it’s potentially a very good self defense calibre.

This is actually a .45 long colt. Where does that fit in?

[SWAMPSNIPER]

You can load .45 Colt heavier in a strong revolver but factory loads are made to be safe in older guns.

No it isn't. And that Schofield is a .45 Colt.

From what I have read, the US Army used the Colt .45(Long Colt). Then they ordered a few S&W which fired a .45 short.

From that day on the US Army required all Colts to use the shorter cartridge.

The Uberti 1875 Schofield is chambered in 45 Long Colt.
