When you inspect your revolver, you must first check to ensure
that it is unloaded. Do this with your finger off the trigger and out
of the trigger guard (Figure 3) and keep the barrel of the gun
pointed in a safe direction. Place the hammer into either the
safety/carry condition or the half cock condition.
(See pages 15 & 16)
INSPECTING YOUR
MODEL 3 SCHOFIELD
!! WARNING !!
Always inspect your revolver visually to be sure the
hammer is in the safety/carry condition (cylinder stop up)
before holstering or carrying it. Remember to keep your
revolver pointed in a safe direction. Never leave a loaded
firearm unattended. (See descriptions on pages 15 & 16 for
Hammer Positions/Conditions)

Push back the barrel latch and rotate the barrel downward.
With the barrel pointed in a safe direction, continue to open the
frame and barrel until the extractor completes its cycle and
snaps back into the cylinder. (Figures 4 & 4a)
Check all charge holes (chambers) to ensure they are unloaded
and the barrel is free of obstructions.
You must follow this procedure every time your revolver is
handled, inspected, handed to another person, transported or
stored.
