I have shot a couple of the side-by-side doubles. They fired every time and shot close enough to the sights at 7 yards. Safety mechanism takes some getting used to and the grip frames can always stand some smoothing out. I wouldn't mind having one of the O/U's since there's usually a 3# coffee can of 45 Colt reloads on hand here.
I think the Schofield round would work fine in them. Of you reload, try the 45 Cowboy Special. It is essentially a 45 Short Colt that uses ACP data.
