[edit] Serious Sam

I'm just a newbie, so bear with me.

The video game Serious Sam had as its base weapon a revolver chambered in .45 Schofield, I'd like to add that to this entry, but am not sure if such an addition would be rules-compliant.

I await the decision of the masses.

According to the guidelines, it doesn't really fit, unless the game somehow had an affect on the cartridge in question, which of course in this case it did not. Arthurrh 03:00, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 45 Schofield usable in Colt revolvers?

I was under that impression that 45 Schofield ammunition cannot be used directly in Colt SAA revolvers -- the cartridge rim is too large and it hangs up the mechanism. The US Army issued a compromise cartridge designed to work in either gun, featuring a shorter case (so it would fit in the S&W revolver) and a narrower rim (so it would fit in the Colt). This compromise cartridge reputedly was not terribly reliable in either gun. This information is from my memory, so if anyone can track down sources to confirm or clarify the matter, it would be appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.107.185.23 (talk) 23:48, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
